About this deal

I have this fear when reading the middle book of a trilogy that it won't be as exciting as the first book (all that setup!) and the last book (the ultimate climax is here!). And this does start off a little bit slow. Not much really happens in the first two-thirds, though it was still an interesting read. Could this be the dreaded middle-book slump?

Have you never heard that virtue is its own reward?” Cardan says pleasantly. “That’s because there’s no other reward in it.” If you guys ever want to see what my true heart’s desires are on paper, read this book. This book is a piece of heaven that was sent from above, this book is the perfection incarnate, this book is nothing short of magical, this book easily makes my top five books of all-time list, and this book is without a doubt the best book I’ve read in 2017. I’m not sure how I’m even going to attempt to come up with a review fitting for this masterpiece, but I’m going to try. Sophie: Former human servant to Balekin; Rescued by Jude; Killed herself; Adopted by merfolk of the UnderseaDain Greenbriar: Taniot and Eldred's son; Balekin, Elowyn, Rhyia, Caelia and Cardan's half-brother; Oak's biological father; killed by Madoc

In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself. I’ve grown deeply connected to the characters and I’ve continually had to remind myself that they aren’t in fact real 😂 Oh, I shall, daughter, much as I hope you will realize how much better it would be if you were to be running it for your own family." Someone tries to betray the High King, murder. Someone gives you a harsh look, murder. Someone disrespects you, murder. Someone ruins your laundry, murder." taryn, i actually found interesting in book 1 and the 1.5 novella. now of course she disappeared for all of this book again, so there goes that. she might have betrayed jude again at the end too, and that's just mean. like girl go away.

Justin Duarte: Former master sword-smith; Husband of Eva; Father to Jude and Taryn; Killed by Madoc In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself. AWARDS Worldbuilding: No words can capture and frame my love for this mystical, fairytaleish land of exotic, quiet allure, so I’m not even gonna try. Now as the exiled mortal Queen of Faerie, Jude is powerless and left reeling from Cardan’s betrayal. She bides her time determined to reclaim everything he took from her. Opportunity arrives in the form of her twin sister, Taryn, whose life is in peril. After college, he started writing more seriously. Next, she began working as a production editor for several medical journals, aka a medical market researcher, while, at the same time, she was studying at Rutgers University to get a degree in library science. She was just shy of one class to get her degree, but once her first book was published and she went on a book tour, that new degree was soon forgotten.
