I wanted to like this book more than I did but it largely wound up being a bit of a dud. It definitely could have used more action and a bit of a more interesting plot.
I’m so happy I decided to give this series a second chance, because this book was everything I expected the first one to be, and more!
After complaining that the first book was a bit boring, Jill Ramsower definitely stepped up her game because this was the total opposite and kept me entertained the entire time.
Becca finally became a badass, Lochlan got me swooning and their chemistry was super intense.
I still loved the Arthurean and historical references, and I can’t wait to continue this story in the third book.
I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I read the first book in this duet. This book has a bit of a better pacing then the first one, but the first one did a lot of setting the scene for the world and the background. I really like Becca and all the things that she discovers about herself. Becca is with Lochlan since she found out somethings about Ronan. This is the conclusion to the duet, but there are other books coming in the same universe. Looking forward to those.
Jill has done it again! While I understand an authors intent to keep a book series short and sweet, I wish there was more!
The story was well written, the characters well developed and the worlds masterfully built. I just wish I could get more of Rebecca, Ashley and the Wild Hunt gang.
It was an exciting sequel and a wrapped up nicely. It was very intense and fierce. Was very happy Rebecca and Lochan got their HEA. Rebecca is strong and fierce, even without her necklace. She travels to the Shadowlands to find Fen and train. She gets a great friendship with Fen. Also, Ashley is back in the book again. Loved the connection between Rebecca and Lochan. The second book was quick paced and well accomplished. The series was wrapped up perfectly.
After finishing Shadow Play, I immediately started on Twilight Siege. Because I really wanted to know what was happening with Rebecca and see how the story would unfold. The pace is still high and you keep turning the pages to see what will happen next. Who can you trust, and who not?
And will the brooding Lochlan and Rebecca get together? Or will he keep her at bay? When they have to travel through Faery together, how will they survive?
Will they get a happy ending? Or will the fairy world come crashing down on earth? Find out for yourself in this wonderful second part of the Fae Games. Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.
Rebecca's whole world has changed, and now it's up to her to save that world. As the threat of Morgan's Shadow invasion of Earth looms nearer, Rebecca must learn what it means to wield both light and dark magic, while learning what it even means to be Fae.
This sequel and conclusion to the Fae Games duet is similar to book one, in that it has a rich spread of obscure fantasy creatures, and a couple of very decent characters. The use of Celtic myth was very fun, and the various settings were interesting and inventive.
However, in my opinion the prose was fairly flat, and I had a difficult time entering into the story deeper than a basic level. I personally don't appreciate the swerve a lot of modern YA has taken into sexual territory, and this book is certainly no exception. The sex throughout this book felt not only unnecessary to the romantic plot line, it also came across as fairly cheap and 'harlequin romance' at times, and in my opinion devalued the characters.
That being said, I did enjoy this story overall, and would be happy to hear more from Jill Ramsower in the future.
For me, i think there are better fae stories out there. Too much lust.
Author should have minimized sex scenes. And instead add in more action sequence.
*I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review*
The Fae Games duet was an amzingly easy read that left me more intrudgued for more than ever before!! I would love to see the author continue to write more as there is still so much story I need to get my fill of!
Rebecca has to come to terms with the understanding that her life is not normal. even by fae standards. This the conclusion to this two part series is written with a quick pace , plenty of twists and well crafted action. Both books have to be read in order, but well worth it as the story had me engrossed to the end.
I loved this story even more than the first ! It went into so much detail about the different realms and we learned so much more about Rebecca and her new found Fae status as well as her new abilities. I loved how she was the first of her kind and how she defected Morgan le fay ! A truly amazing book that any fan of science fiction, fae and different realms will fall in love with ! I must also comment of the adult content throughout both books I loved how it was snuck in their with just the right amount of erotica ! One of a kind !
