The beginning of this book was so hard to get through for me and I almost dnf'ed it. The main character, Janelle, had no backbone for most of the book and was pulled in every possible direction by everyone in this book at least once. I get that things were confusing and she was trying to figure out this new life, but this girl really didnt have a single braincell for herself until the last quarter of the book.
I was NOT planning on reading the next book but the last quarter of this book saved it and I may actually pick book 2 up. The last part of this book, Janelle finally takes matters into her own hands and defeated the big bad.
The plot of this book is actually pretty unique and I hadn't read anything like it so that is what attracted me to this. The way it was executed could have been better but after reading the end, it wasn't too bad.

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.
