*MILD SPOILERS AHEAD*
I had to see what all the hype was about with this book and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares…but it turns out they’re real, and Saeris has landed herself right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.
Saeris came across a little juvenile at times. For the amount of hardship she’s had to face I thought she would act a little more mature rather than a petulant teenager but that’s how she came across the majority of the time. If I was in her shoes sure I would be frustrated with the amount of information everyone wasn’t telling me but she got on my little with all her tantrums.
Kingfisher was so much fun! A tad convenient how he couldn’t reveal any information due to his oath but his overall attitude and charisma made up for it for sure. The witty banter he has with not only Saeris but everyone was very entertaining and I was definitely waiting to see what he was going to do next. Also, he has a filthy mouth and I was here for it!
I really liked the contrast of the two settings and the plot was evenly paced which kept me engaged the whole time. Overall I think there was just enough spice sprinkled onto this pretty typical fae storyline with some fun twists and turns along the way!
⭐️4/5 stars the quotes were quoting with this one!!!
