Description

In a treacherous world of faerie, power is a double-edged sword that can either elevate or destroy. The protagonist finds herself ensnared in a dangerous game of deception and ambition, where alliances are fickle and betrayal lurks around every corner. With her heart caught between loyalty and desire, she must navigate the ruthless politics of the fae realm while grappling with her own tumultuous emotions.

As battles escalate and secrets unfold, she learns that strength is not just about physical prowess but also about resilience and cunning. Every choice she makes could lead to her downfall or empower her to claim her destiny. With each turn of the page, the tension builds, drawing readers further into a vivid tapestry of intrigue, romance, and the unyielding quest for power.

Sufrí con este libro, no por que fuera malo, sino que el primero me gustó tanto que le tenía tremendas expectativas a este y las cumplió todas.
(Cardan cásate conmigo)

Aaaah como eu amei esse segundo livro, amei muito, como é bom ver a evolução da Jude, ela é muito maravilhosa. Tá bom, me rendi ao Cardan, mas que piada ruim que ele fez no final cara kkkkkkk eu tô até agora sem acreditar kkkk Fiquei muito triste com o que a Vivi fez com a Heather no Reino das fadas, ela não precisa ter feito aquilo, o que me deixou mais feliz foi saber que a Heather está dando um gelo nela foi embora de casa. Meu ódio ainda permanece pela Taryn, pelo Locke, Nicasia e Orlagh. Ainda sem acreditar na traição do Fantasma 😭. E estou radiante com a morte de Balekin kkkkkkk já foi tarde esse ridículo.

A fun second book. Too much lusty feelings for my comfort, but eh, that's who they are I guess. I loved the politics, the drama, and the twists. It is a good book, where I'm surprised people thought it was slow. I found it moved quite well and could have enjoyed more of the slower details.

Ohhhh my goddd!!So … ummm, what was that?This book was definitely and utterly better than the first one ( the first one is fantastic btw )The plot, the emotions, the BETRAYAL!! Everything was just amazing, Jude and Cardan heheheeee oh my goddI’d never in my life loved this tiny amount of romance! ( considering that i’m a huge romance girly )But the crumbs here was crumbsing , i giggled so hard on this one, this poor book had been punched and thrown multiple timesI’m really fascinated by Holly Black writing style, it’s really unique and beautiful to read, the world building ughhh i really NEED to live in ElfhameThe last 100 pages played with my nerves A LOT and then BOOM dear Cardan didn’t disappoint at allI really can’t figuring out where this is going but I CAN NOT wait to know!!!

4.5/5Again, great plot twist and really good schemes. Not usually a fan of bullies to lovers, but this book really begins the enemies to lovers and this is a slow burn I can get behind of!
