The mystery of the name explained. Good, I’m glad it wasn’t an oversight but deliberate on the authors part.

It’s so good so far, but suddenly the nameless pyre has a name. There was nobody to tell it, Aurelie just suddenly knows it. Very confusing.

Intriguing! Such a good author.

I love every character in this book. Niall and Una are the perfect friends, caring and pushy but not overbearing to the point of annoyance. They understand Niamh’s carefree nature and, while not encouraging it, they at least know to let her do her own thing and watch her back.

This story is SO AMAZING.

Veeery spicy. But the writing is good.

So, so good! A wonderful cozy fairytale.

This book is AMAZING so far!

The story is SO good. And so is the writing. The editing is still terrible though! This would be a solid five stars if not for that careless editing.

Could do without the melodrama, Otello. 🙄

Pretty good so far. One or two consistency errors but overall the writing and editing are excellent. There are spoilers though, for a series that comes before this one.

Excellent! FINALLY found an author who knows how to WRITE. I didn’t want to stop reading!

Same boring stuff as usual. And I’m sorry but these autumn fae are kind of stupid. 😑

Ok the plot is a copout. In the last book it clearly says that Santa has her throat ripped out by the winter king, yet somehow she’s still alive in this book with ZERO EXPLANATION. Lazy, lazy, LAZY.

Ok. Ash and Hayley are both under glamour. The rule is fae cannot touch them or the glamour will break. But vasant just kissed Haley’s hand and now is dancing with her and the glamour conveniently did not break.

Inconsistency like this is what keeps these books from being great. They’re just meh at best.

Awkward writing. And why is it okay for a woman to force herself on a man when he’s telling her no? Repeatedly! If it was a reverse situation, it’d be considered sexual assault. Not romantic at all. 👎🏻

Why is the editing in this book SO BAD?!😭
Also, Elspeth, YOU ARE A MORON.

Ok. In a previous chapter Ashton drove a car and yet in this one it’s mentioned that iron poisons fae. How? A car is essentially a big iron box! Does it poison them only if they’re stabbed by it or something?! And what are their weapons made of? It better not be steel because that’s just processed iron. They’re carrying around their own potential death if that’s the case.

The editing on this book reeeeally needs work.
And I don’t understand why they don’t cut the lock on the chain cuffing them together??? Or pick it? Or cast a spell on it to open it? Perhaps them being cuffed together is supposed to be symbolic or something, but it’s a little unrealistic to me.

One thing bothering me about this book is how often Ashton is described as buff and muscular. I’m sorry, but if he was wasting away in a dungeon for ten years, tortured and half-starved and no exercise, he’d be little more than a bag of skin and bones. I suppose author could chalk it up to him being far, but that feels like a cop out. Just more bad cliche writing.
