A Veil of Truth and Trickery by Analeigh Ford
3.0

It was fine. I was wanting something fantasy but different from the last books I read and it was that. The series follows a woman named Delph who is ‘fae-marked’ or cursed by the fae in someway. The fae of course are dangerous creatures who have mostly stayed out of human affairs the last couple of decades but recent enough to living memory that this makes her an outcast from her village and a target for hatred. She is eventually taken as part of a deal gone wrong to the fae world and meets the four princes of the realm where she finds out something is wrong with the magic of the realm and that it is fading. I won’t go into too much detail and avoid spoilers but it essentially follows her getting dragged along the fae realm as a less powerful being. The one thing I will say is that series just completely sidesteps the issue of love triangle (quadrangle idk man?) by just straight up polyamory which is my favorite trope in new romance novels. Honestly, I kind of feel like a whole lot of nothing happened over the course of 2 full length books, but it was like, a sort of fun nothing?
