How can I express to you how much I love a fun easy, magical book? YA fantasy is often a place I go on my bookshelves when i am in need of something not to heavy and when the world outside is overwhelming. This book provided me an escape I cannot wait to dive into again.

I saw Faeries Don't Lie offered on NetGalley and the gold filigree cover drew me into wanting to know more about the world. When it was approved for reading and review, I dove in with excited and was not disappointed. The world is richly developed and the characters are well done. I won't even caveat that by saying in a YA Fantasy book because I simply think the characters were impressive and engaging. There is a bit of a romance between Aunia and Mathia, but it's cute and not spicy. The way I like my romances to be.

There are themes of wanting to belong, understanding, compassion, and themes of finding your place in the world. All of which, I feel most readers can connect with on some level.

I am excited to see what Book #2 will have to offer as T. F. Burke continues to build out the world, the conflicts, and the human and fae societies. Get ready to be sucked in to a new world of wonder.

I loved every single second of this amazing book. So so so good. I rated it 4 stars because it's such a good story and the characters are perfect.

I was really excited by the description of this book and even after having read it, the concept is fantastic. I would dearly love to see Faeries Don't Lie after a thorough editing process.
