Oh I was SOO ready to fall in love with this; the cover is stunning! I liked Saft’s Down Comes the Night but didn’t get through Far Wilder Magic. This synopsis convinced me to try her out again because it sounded so lovely.

The beginning was nice and I was actually having a good time for nearly the entire first half of this. Unfortunately, the plot started to become a bit messy and I became annoyed and frustrated. The political plotline seemed uneven and some major threads didn’t really wrap up enough for me. I DID, however, adore Kit and Niamh (although the third act conflict… UGH WHY).

I wish I could’ve rated this higher but alas, the plot was a bit too boring and frustrating for me to enjoy the second half of the book much.
