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.
Jude must risk venturing back into the treacherous Faerie Court, and confront her lingering feelings for Cardan, if she wishes to save her sister. But Elfhame is not as she left it. War is brewing. As Jude slips deep within enemy lines she becomes ensnared in the conflict's bloody politics.
And, when a dormant yet powerful curse is unleashed, panic spreads throughout the land, forcing her to choose between her ambition and her humanity . . .
Review:
WOW. Okay here me out, Jude is stupid as hell. First off, Jude and Cardan getting married was so romantic and sweet, I loved every minute of that. And Cardan made complete sense in his reasoning and i new his intentions were pure. So when the whole ordeal came to light of Jude killing his brother, she was dumb as hell for not realizing she had the power to lift her own banishment. She should’ve stayed quiet, let them escort her to the human realm and then came right back! She was stupid for that one, that was common sense!
But anyways. She sneaks back to take the place of her sister who is on trial for the death of her piece of shit husband, Locke That man should’ve been murdered in book 1, but whatever. To me, Tayrn did a lot of messed up stuff to Jude, I’m not sure I would’ve forgiven so easily. But we moved passed it far quicker than I would’ve liked.
AND THEN HER ESCAPE FROM THE CAMP???? OMG. Iconic, honestly. The flowers??? YES QUEEN!
I’m not sure if I enjoyed this more than the last one, but it was still an enjoyable read. This story had all the best elements of a YA fantasy with an enemies to lovers trope for the ages.
