This book! My gosh! I went in to this not sure what to expect. I had heard the hype and I'd also heard conflicting reviews.
Well - I use caps sparingly but the situation calls for them - I LOVED IT!
Firstly, I inhaled this book in 24 hours. I couldn't put it down.
The History and Politics teacher in me was jumping up and down at the fantastic political intrigue and scheming. I loved the correlations between medieval courts and power. I sat on the edge of my seat throughout this book, shouting 'Noooo' in absolute shock at some of the twists. This book is all about the tension, drama and action. And with the ultimate enemies-to-lovers story at the heart of it - what's not to like?
I was afraid at the beginning that I wouldn't like it since it follows a lot of the original mythologies of faeries, e.g. Seelie and unseelie, etc. Being Irish and raised on superstition, I'm not a fan of these faery tales but it worked for this book.
"This is the least of what I can do."
And with that I've already started reading The Wicked King with untold anticipation of where the schemes are going to next...
