The Severed Realms Trilogy #2
Autumn's Traitor
Larken survived the Starveling, but her greatest battles are yet to come. Haunted by memories of the flames that nearly took her life and desperate for Finder to heal her, she plots to rescue him from imprisonment in Shadeshelm. Larken searches for allies within the other courts of the faery realm, but she finds that without the Starveling, the court rulers are consumed by their own political games.
Dahey rules as regent in Finder’s stead, but he won’t rest until he takes the throne. His people and the other court rulers won’t accept his legitimacy until he possesses Finder’s powers. But when a dark spell given to him by the Guardian goes awry, Dahey is faced with a choice: the crown or Finder’s life.
In the human realm, Kaisa is days away from achieving everything she dreamed. Once she completes her Anointing, she will be inducted as a full member of the Order of the Twins. But when she discovers the horrifying truth behind the Anointing, she abandons the Order and flees. Her troubles don’t end there—fey monsters pour into Ellevere, and the Popes, now loyal to the Guardian, do nothing to stop them. Kaisa struggles to raise an army of her own, but the pressure of her new position threatens to undo her.
In the shadows, the greatest threat to both realms now walks free. Every day the Guardian’s power grows—as does his army. The courts must work together to defeat him before his dark magic destroys them all, but with the powers fractured in the Autumn Court, the rulers might not have the strength to stand against him.

2.5 - 2.75 ⭐️
Pro- goblet of fire vibes, world building, saja + roone, larkens personal growth, dahey’s growth, fynnvara, and the ending
Con- too many chapters (could’ve combined), too many perspectives (one major perspective was missing), lack of romance (felt rushed), introduction of a new main character that is hard to relate to (I hate kaisa lol)

Sequels often fail to compare, by any means, to their predecessors. However, Autumn’s Traitor is no regular sequel.
From page one, I was emotionally and physically enthralled in Hannah Parker’s second novel. I was overjoyed to be apart of this world again, as I hold both Airodion and Ellevere close to my heart. Packed with intense action, unlikely friendship, toe curling romance, and multiple pov’s, Autumn’s Traitor surpasses every single sequel I have ever read before. The flow is both effortless and simultaneously alluring, drawing you in with each page wound in a fantastical world.
If you enjoyed Autumn’s Tithe in any capacity, Autumn’s Traitor is the next best thing. I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the lore of this world, meeting new characters, and venturing into new places. I will forever want to try spiced wine and ride bears with massive horns. Lastly, this book contains a reverie (a BALL with FEY!) and a tournament (fight to the death!). I was holding my breath and screaming into pillows during these sequence.
P.S. If you are a fan of Daenerys from Game of Thrones… this book is for you.
THEMES: Found family, PTSD representation, feminism, evil religion, curvy main character, and family rivalries. This book also has POC and LGTBQIA+ representation <3

seriously what’s the point of Larken and Kaisa? both they’re storyline’s offered absolutely nothing aside from being whiny and selfish and useless. tbh i’m giving it 3 stars solely because the ending kinda sucked me in

I ran out of Spotify listening hours with 20 pages left in the book. Really ruined my immersion.

This is a solidly good YA read from an indie publisher.
Great for fans of: Holly Black, Margaret Rogerson, Irish folklore
4.5 stars for me but rounding up to 5 stars because this book has been the product of some disingenuous reviews. It's one thing to say what you don't enjoy (which is valid and fair) but it's another to gleefully hate on a book
Autumn's Traitor is the sequel to Autumn's Tithe (5 stars from me), and it didn't disappoint! Parker does a great job expanding the world and giving us a glimpse into the geopolitical dynamics of this fantasy universe. In this book, Parker follows two female humans in vastly different circumstances. Larken desperately seeks to rescue her friend (*eyebrow wiggle*) Finder from imprisonment in a fey court while Kaisa flees from a cruel religious Order and embarks on a quest of her own. I loved the juxtaposition of Kaisa and Dahey.
Pros:
- Parker excels at world building. Her faery world is filled with whimsical elements that capture the magic of old fairytales. The human realm development (introducing the Popes and the Order) was well done too.
- amazing friendships.
- slow burn romance appropriate for YA audiences
- short binge-worthy chapters
- a villain POV that makes you feel SO MUCH empathy for his character (I love Dahey)
- the Tournament scenes are amazing. In fact, the second half is when the book really shines
Cons:
- every now and then, the pacing felt rushed through moments I wanted to savor. But I find this happens in every YA book I read. Usually YA is more to the point than adult works. If I was still a teenager, I would've adored this series for sure. I like it a lot as a 30 year old!
I really enjoyed this book and would readily recommend it to young adult readers or to anyone who enjoys a good "faery" tale. I'd feel confident letting my daughter read it once she's older. We need more wholesome feel-good magical YA in this world!
I look forward to seeing where the series will go!

This book follows two storylines: Larken in the fae world and Kaisa in the human world. Neither storyline had good pacing, which is the biggest problem I had with this book. There is absolutely no reason this book needed to be 400 pages. The first half of the book was so boring and dragged so much. I had this same problem with the first book.
I hated Kaisa's storyline so much. At first, I thought it was interesting to see how the human world was dealing the fae world and the impending war, but Kaisa's eyes were the worst set of eyes to see that from. She's a terrible person. Just self centered and lawful evil with unclear motivations. The worst part is that her personality isn't consistent. She comes off as stubborn (in a way that makes her think she's always right) and cares more about status and power than actually helping people, going so far as to call the town "her people" after being there for like a week or 2. So her eye opening moment in chap 59 was just so unbelievable. I'm sorry, but her Disney movie quality change of heart will not redeem her in my eyes. I will forever hate her character.
Back to the pacing issue. Since I hated Kaisa, I tried to get through her chapters as quickly possible, only to see Larken doing absolutely nothing. Larken and Saja were "prepping" for who knows what and in the most boring way possible for like 200 pages, until the very interesting tournament comes. But that happened in like 10 pages and was done. At this point, I was seriously considering dnf-ing the book because I was getting so frustrated.
The only saving grace was the ending scenes. It was captivating. and I got sucked in, trying to read faster than I'm capable of. I think everything about that was done well. I have no interest in reading the next book though.

Although I can agree with with other reviews are saying about the slower pacing in the beginning of the book and the dislike for Kaisa, I still really really enjoyed this book. The world, story-building, and characters really brought it to life and I can’t wait for the next installment!

4.5/5 Stars
Wow, the second book of this series got a major glow-up from the first book. I enjoyed the first book in this series but I also thought it could have used some work on the execution. This book didn't have that problem at all. I was very impressed with how far this book came compared to the first book.
The execution of the story was much better in this book. I didn't feel bored or as if there should have been more conflict to keep my mind from wandering. The pacing of this book was also much better. The author's writing style shines a bit more in this book since the story development isn't stagnated. The author's writing voice is relatable and well-spoken. The plot of this story was great and it was carried out very well. I found myself really attached to the story and I was compelled to know what would happen next. The world-building was detailed and immersive.
I liked how easy it was to step into these characters' shoes. Even when there was a character that I didn't care for, I easily related to them. I even found myself loving a character at first and then disliking them and then liking them again. These characters experienced a rollercoaster of development. This book introduced many characters that were not in the first book and I loved their addition to the story. I liked the main female character much more in this book. She is changing so much and I think it is for the better. I loved her bravery. I also loved the representation of friendship and chosen family.
We finally get a tiny bit of romance in this book. The romance between the lead characters is very mild but it is also very sweet. There are also a couple of romances between side characters that are explored. One in particular is between two fae males and I melted for them.
Overall, this dazzling sequel really stepped up its game! This book was leagues ahead of the first book in terms of development and flow. I am so happy that I decided to continue this series. I would urge anyone who read the first book and found it boring at times to press on and read this book because all of those issues have been fixed for book two. This is the exact reason why I always try to give authors a second chance. Give this series a chance if you are a fan of action-packed fantasy stories with fae and mythical creatures. I am so ready for book three!

This is the second book in The Severed Realms trilogy. I really enjoyed it. The story was told well and it felt like you were walking right alongside the characters. I also really loved some of the new people and creatures that were introduced in this book. (And all the new insight and lore about this world) I cant wait until the third book comes out! The story is told from 2-3 povs, (mostly 2 but on occasion we see a 3rd) And I think it was well written, both stories/povs intertwined the faerie realm and the human realm nicely, and both adventures were exciting and lovely to read about. Its hard to give many details of the plot without giving away spoilers for the first book so I will leave you all with this, and the synopsis. The protagonist Larken was super likeable in my opinion, and the second one, Kaisa, was definitely interesting but in the best way. This story had my emotions in all different directions just like the first book! My only complaint would be that the ending felt a little rushed but I honestly didn't mind that much, It led nicely on to what will be the next book. I really have loved this series so give it a read if you love reading about fantasy, faeries, and super awesome girls who battle monsters!
(SPOILERS FOR AUTUMNS TITHE IN HERE)
Autumns Traitor Synopsis:
Larken survived the Starveling, but her greatest battles are yet to come. Haunted by memories of the flames that nearly took her life and desperate for Finder to heal her, she plots to rescue him from imprisonment in Shadeshelm. Larken searches for allies within the other courts of the faery realm, but she finds that without the Starveling, the court rulers are consumed by their own political games.
Dahey rules as regent in Finder’s stead, but he won’t rest until he takes the throne. His people and the other court rulers won’t accept his legitimacy until he possesses Finder’s powers. But when a dark spell given to him by the Guardian goes awry, Dahey is faced with a choice: the crown or Finder’s life.
In the human realm, Kaisa is days away from achieving everything she dreamed. Once she completes her Anointing, she will be inducted as a full member of the Order of the Twins. But when she discovers the horrifying truth behind the Anointing, she abandons the Order and flees. Her troubles don’t end there—fey monsters pour into Ellevere, and the Popes, now loyal to the Guardian, do nothing to stop them. Kaisa struggles to raise an army of her own, but the pressure of her new position threatens to undo her.
In the shadows, the greatest threat to both realms now walks free. Every day the Guardian’s power grows—as does his army. The courts must work together to defeat him before his dark magic destroys them all, but with the powers fractured in the Autumn Court, the rulers might not have the strength to stand against him.

To be honest I liked the 1st book more. At the beginning I wasn't a huge of Kaisa because she was a hypocrite in my eyes, when she kept saying how she couldn't be with the Order because she had to kill her friend,and she won't kill people to gain a position/advantage, but then when the village she stayed in was attacked she would gladly kill both by fire and by sword, and when her friend told her this she couldn't see anything wrong with it... And it was all because she wanted the people to see her as a leader, and they would've without her having to kill people in such a way. But in the end when she realized this, I began to like her a little more.
I found Larken clever and brave, but she could also be so annoying when she didn't stop for a minute to think things through one more time. But I loved how she overcame her fear of fire after everything she'd been through. But that was partly with Saja and Fynvarra's help. But their friendship was a huge help for her in general, and they were my favorite part this book and when Finder and Larken had their moment in the tent.
I don't understand how Finder can forgive Dahey after trying to steal his magic, trying to having him both tortured and killed to become King of the Autumn Court...
But now after they had to use the magic together it dawned on Dahey that Finder is the most experienced, and should be King, and thankfully gave him his magic back.
I wonder if there will be something happening between Kaisa and Dahey after their exchange through the black orb.but I also wonder what'll happen when the fae and humans have to work together in the 3rd book?

Overall I liked the book, but not as much as book 1. I feel like Kaisa lacked proper introduction as a new main character in the book getting equal page time to Larkin. For me it led to some confusion and question rather I was forgetting a plot line from the original book. The court rulers behavior and handling of circumstances following the starlvling’s death was not very believable as court rulers (but perhaps that’s because of the pov we saw it through). The book does come off slow because Larkin spends the majority of the book soliciting help for finder and having to go against “allies” to do it herself. But a lot of that can be accounted to the lack of leadership int eh court rulers. We also get a lot to telling instead of showing when it comes to Kaisa. We are told she’s a great leader and everyone loves her and will follow her but it’s not shown well on the page for the reader to witness.
July 24, 2023
the beginning of this book had so much promise but it was such a letdown. the pacing was a huge issue in the first book and throughout most of this book that issue was rectified, but the end basically threw all that out. there is no time, nuance, or subtlety to any of the character development with characters changing their personalities, opinions, and alliances seemingly on a whim. there is a very juvenile level of depth to all of these characters as well that makes them unrelatable and difficult to fully like. i like the world and i enjoy the magic system but there are so many better books that have similar ones that i would much rather read.

This book blew my mind! It was so action-packed! There was so much integrity and steadfastness from the beloved main characters. I guess it's what I needed to be reading at this particular point in time in the world we live in. It gave me hope. It made me cry. It breathed life back into my faith for humanity (and fey). When is book 3 out?! I need it!!!
February 27, 2024
This sequel started off so good, then the middle got so boring. These strong female characters became needy and terrible. Kaisa annoyed me, then I liked her, then she got terrible again. Ugh What happend to the romance? Finder doesn't care for Larken, then he's making out with her? Make it make sense. This whole book was filler for book 3, which I hope goes back to being like book 1.

This book was very slow in the beginning which was kind of disappointing because I read the first book so quickly.
Nothing really exciting happened until the last 100 pages. Giving it 3 stars because the ending was great! I will probably read the next book.

I finished the first book and immediately purchased this one. It took me maybe a couple of days to finish. Didn’t realize the third book wasn’t out yet and full on went into a book hangover after this one. So excited for the next one.
July 6, 2023
The story was fast-paced and entertaining. I loved being able to see into all of the different characters' pov. The main characters grow and overcome difficulties. I want to see how everything else turns out.
May 8, 2026
Honestly? The first book was definitely a good bit better. This one lagged a lot for me and carried asking some of the same issues I had with Autumn's Tithe. It had so much potential! But just kinda let me down.

This one wasn’t as good as the first one. Larken is not the same girl she was and I get why, but it got so annoying. And the character of Kaisa. Ugh.
October 16, 2024
Honestly could of done without Kaisa’s POV. I really enjoyed the first book, and while I still liked certain elements of this, the multiple POV changes really took me out of it.

I enjoy many parts to this book, however some scenes felt extremely repetitive. Introducing more characters was very interesting, I liked getting the broader perspective!

This book was so underwhelming and I had no idea what was going on for like 90% of the book. The main characters didn’t really do anything and, when something did happen, it lasted for like two seconds then back to nothing. I could’ve been on board with the political intrigue but the characters’ perspectives were so uninteresting. I just feel like there wasn’t anything new here.

Two things would have made this better: no Kaisa storyline and Finder's POV. It was a little bit of a disappointment compared to the first book, but Larken's story was the saving grace.
