First Impressions
The Seelie King is the fifth book in the "Kings" books. I have been wanting to continue the series but at this point I am wondering if I should switch to the ebook instead of the audio because I just have the most challenging time focusing on this narrator or it could be the way the books are written but I think I need to try to read these in a different format as I just felt like I missed scenes and couldn't feel the connection between these two.

First Line

The Main Protagonists
The Hero: King Avery
The Heroine: Selene

Summary
The setup is that Selene has lived in the mortal world but she is far from truly mortal and human. She and her twin sister were left on a doorstep and was raised by a more mature couple who loved them. Selene has a connection to any animal and she struggles seeing what is happening to humanity, the loss of morals and compassion being slowly drained from the mortal realm. But she has abilities she doesn't know yet, she is a wisher, many of her people were destroyed and barely managed to escape.And she is the first fae to come to the light. As she binds herself to her true mate, the king of the Seelie fae, she will embrace her true destiny.

What I Loved
I really liked these characters, Selene was strong without being overpowering. I liked that she seemed to have a balance of compassion and strong will within her. She has a great connection to the animal kingdom and I loved seeing the various ways that she connects to animals. So if you are a animal lover, then I can see how this book would truly work for you. I did enjoy the hero, he is masculine and with just the right touch of alpha without being a jerk or super overbearing.

What I Struggled With
Honestly many things, and I have to wonder if this is just because of having it on audiobook and just not being able to focus on it which is not normal. But I felt completely lost in this story and just didn't feel the chemistry and romance that was happening between our hero and heroine. I wanted to and at first it seemed neat, but there were other plot lines happening and just seemed to side line what was happening with the hero and heroine. And it could also be a symptom of these books could use an extra 50-80 pages to focus a bit more on the relationship and that felt lacking.

Narration
While I like some aspects of it, it seemed hard to focus on it.

Overall View
While I had some positive times with The Seelie King and found the world building fascinating, there was more than one plot happening and seemed to be confusing at times. But I still recommend this author as I really had a fun time with the earlier books in the series.
