Brie hates the Fae and refuses to have anything to do with them, even if that means starving on the street. But when her sister is sold to the sadistic king of the Unseelie court to pay a debt, she'll do whatever it takes to get her back--including making a deal with the king himself to steal three magical relics from the Seelie court.

Unwilling to let her heart distract her, she accepts help from a band of Unseelie misfits with their own secret agenda.

And with her heart.… (more)

3/5

If ACOTAR and The Cruel Prince had a baby, and the baby was fairly middling..... It would be this book.

UNDER THESE PARAMETERS, HOWEVER!!

I really liked it. It was fun. Can you blame me?

The love triangle felt like a better Rhys x Feyre x Tamlin from ACOTAR...... mostly.
Except two things are really bugging me...
1- Finn obviously cares about her and also his kingdom and he even says stuff about how he doesn't want to try and get the crown before she knows the truth... so why does Brie think that he's using her/why doesn't he clarify???
2- Why did she never stop to think that maybe Sebastian knew all along who she was? That he sought her out for this purpose??? Not for one second before you bond?! Come on


The politics reminded me of a worse Cruel Prince- the strong female protagonist had some autonomy, but it was mostly that there were lots of twists because people couldn't communicate because AHA fae magic bonds make you lie!!! And if not outright lie you have to skirt around very important truths! Which felt kind of dumb. Especially because it was the only type of fae magic that actually happened.

But,,,, again. It was fun, and the most fun one of these YA fae books have been in a minute. ( )

good story, the writing isn’t great though

*spoiler warning*
The writing just feels a bit off to me. Like some parts happen too fast or aren’t believable. For example, when she tells bash she has magic he’s just like cool ok. She never shows him what she can do or anything like that. Also I feel like it’s too obvious that she’s gonna end up with Finn (haven’t even read the next book but it seems like it was heavily hinted at the entire book). Idk. It’s a lot like a court of thorns and roses by Sarah j Maas but not as good. ( )
