"Once upon a time, there was a human girl stolen away by faeries, and because of that, she swore to destroy them.”

I don't understand the hate for this series. It's really good in my opnion. Maybe not the best but highly engrossing and entertaining. I love the writing and the world it is set in.

Jude and cardan are both written as unlikeable characters. I hardly cared about them. I think one of the reasons for my detachment was their always unclear and suspicious intentions. I could never tell what was going on in their minds (which is a good thing, and probably the most interesting part of the book.) Cardan, is the most untrustworthy character I have ever read. He seem harmless and adorable in one moment and totally psychotic evil in the next. It's always hard to tell where his loyalties lie. Then we have Taryn. I never liked her and never will. She is like a sweet poison. Locke and Taryn deserve each other. The only character I actually really like, and think is grounded and realistic, is of Vivian's. I loved how torn she was between her life in faerie land and in mortal world, and the dynamics between her and her father - Madoc. However, this book didn't have enough of her and that bothered me but not enough to lower my rating for the book.
The most incredible part of this series Is its plot. I was dismayed by the amount of plot twists, and shades of personality each character had.

"Kiss me until I am sick of it."

Romance part was not as cringy as I was hoping it to be, and it actually helped in the progression the plot (something that we don't see often in YA books.) The love-hate relationship between cardan and Jude was interesting and intriguing. I was unsure the whole time if wanted to ship them or save them from getting into each other's claws. I couldn't guess if their insociant behavior towards each other was because they were scheming or because they were in love and afraid to admit it. Climax wasn't as dramatic as it was in the first book, but it was shocking and unpredictable nonetheless and ended on a big cliffhanger.  I don't know how long I can hang on to this cliff. This might be the death of me. lol

I highly recommend this book.
