I kinda feel bad when I have to write reviews for books that I didn't really care for. I used to read a lot of elf books and have always been obsessed with them and I figured this book would be a new story to love. It wasn't so awful that I couldn't read it, but it definitely suffers from a juvenile writing style. A lot of the descriptions were very basic in the beginning and there were a lot of them that described characters that really didn't matter. There were a lot of tropes going on and they weren't done in a way that made it fun to read the story. I really did not like the MC, Arabella, at all. I did like Constance though and I found the magic system interesting. It wasn't so bad that I couldn't stand to read anymore, but it was definitely lacking in many ways.

I am all about those elf/faerie books so this one was a must.

A strong heroine, mysterious elf magic and an interesting world, what more can you ask for in a novel? The writing style was fluid and easy to read. I really liked this novel. The story kicked off at a very nice pace so I was hooked after a few pages. In addition, the world and the turmoil between the humans and elves intrigued me. I kept reading so that I could learn more of the history between them.
