Never-Contented Things by Sarah Porter
3.5
dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I was a bit wary of this book going into it because of all of the reviews but it really wasn't that bad. Part I was a bit confusing because we were reading the story through Ksenia's POV while unexplained actions were taking place but by the time you Lexi's POV in part II, you start to get an idea of where the story is going. This book is very dark and explores themes that may be triggering such as multiple forms of abuse, rape, unhealthy relationships, incest (in a sense), drugs, violence, as well as other things. 

The summary alludes to this being a book about evil faeries. The evil faeries are present and drive the story but Never-Contented Things is more so a story about Ksenia, Josh, and Lexi and their character development. If you plan to read this book thinking that the faeries are the main characters, it is not.

Aside from that, I did enjoy this book and I am willing to pick up another Sarah Porter book.
