Three stars to the first installment of the Far Bloodlines series. This was a fast-paced read about a human and fae meeting and falling in love, only to discover both their lives at stake.

Calyse is a fae, second born twin, and largely ignored by her High Queen mother.
Julian’s dad left him and his witch mother 18 years ago. Julian knows he has some basic witch powers and he can see ghosts. What will happen when Julian’s powers are put to the test in order to save Calyse?

The pacing of this story was excellent. If not for work, I would have finished in a day. The characters were lovable and easy to connect to. I found myself rooting for Julian and Calyse’s love, even though it seemed impossible.

Pick this up if you like fae books with love as the center storyline!

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book early!

I liked several things about this book: for once it was not a human falling in love with a fae and the faerie world, but the other way around. It was also quite fast paced, and easy to get into.

It may just be that I love anything Fae (except for SJM), but I throughly enjoyed this book, and I think it would be a good one to get you out of a reading slump!

This is the kind of book i enjoy to read when ive read some hard hitting fantasy and need a palate cleanser. I know these kind of books wont be everybodies taste but i absolutely loved it.

Forbidden love is one of my favourite tropes and i loved how this book switched it up. Instead of a human girl falling in love with a Fae it was a Fae girl fallig in love with a human.

This book was paced brilliantly and i didnt find myself gettig bored. I happily read it in one sitting.

Thanks for an enjoyable read.

ONE OF THE BEST READS OF MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!
I seek words to describe this book, but it is so amazing that I am completely spechless. I admit my expectations were quite low because of a reading slump, but wow. Not only did I love the character development and the amazing history of the world they are inserted, but the mystery and forbidden love itself. I loved every second with it and just could not put it down. Can´t wait to read the second one and see what happens to my beloved Celyse, who I strongly identified with.
To the author, Rose Garcia, thank you so much for writing your ideas and showing them to the world. You have brought me much hope and joy. I will certainly be reading all your books from now on. Even living all the way in Brazil.
If you don´t know what to read next, please do yourself the favor of reading this perfect work of art.

Fae Away by Rose Garcia begins as Romeo and Juliet-esque novel, with a fantastical spin. Celyse, a fae Princess, and Julio, a seemingly normal human, experience love at first sight, as their forbidden passion is the driving force of this book. What this book cleverly does, is it takes common tropes and adds spellbinding touches, creating a magical world of twists and turns. The concept of the book drew me in instantly.

The book jumps right into the world of Faevenly, setting a fast pace that never ceases, and often speeds up. There was a whirlwind of betrayals and intrigue and love. Personally, I found the fast pace to detract from the story at times, as a series of plot twists often came across as haphazard. Whilst the plot was intriguing, the rushed nature of events let it down. Additionally, the book often engaged in telling rather than showing. Nonetheless, I would not dismiss this book, and perhaps caveat it by saying it is aimed at a younger teenage audience. The colloquial and conversationalist tone supports this and makes for a simple read.

Thank you netgalley for a copy of this ebook.

This book read as a very typical YA fantasy romance, which while I do enjoy, can be too typical. That seems to be the case for this book. Celyse is a fae princess who meets a human named Julio, blahblah forbidden love/human vs fae/etc. It was a fun and fast paced read and I didn't dislike it but I'm not sure if I would pick up the sequel
