I was extremely surprised to see this book available for request in Netgalley it is not new and the audiobooks have been available for over a year but I was happy to get it. It's been hyped in the book community for a while so I was excited to see what all the adoration was about.

The writing was masterful and fun, she's clearly a great writer. The premise and characters are intriguing. But, and this is a big but, ultimately the entire book was a giant cock block. So much yet so little happened. We have literally no answers and though I can sense we are suppose to fall for Collith he is the biggest problem. The mysterious elusive fae gave me nothing, no facts, no clues and no personality.

He refuses to tell her anything, not even the basics she needs to survive in his court and since Fortuna is a woman of action she goes around poking hornets nets and making unnecessary blunders. Fascinating yet frustrating 3.5⭐

Update: So I really wanted to try this series again in audio. I'm just not sure if my review has changed much since I first read the ebook in June of 2019. I might have to give the next book a shot, maybe things will start picking up.

Narrator Emma Lysy was ok. I liked her voice, but no character voice changes.

This is a first read for me by this author. The blurb really intrigued me. This at first sort of had ACOTAR series vibe in the beginning. I loved the initial banter between the main couple. I wanted more of a background or initial introduction/buildup in the story. I have to say a good chunk of the middle part was a bit slow. I thought this going to be a standalone, but it turns out its book 1 in a unknown # in a series. I just can't pinpoint exactly why I'm feeling indifferent about this book. This was an ok first book for me.
