Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-arc of this book!
The description of this book sounds amazing and so I was very excited to read it. At the start of the book we meet Avriel, a half fae, half human woman working as a double agent for both the human and fae royal courts. If this isn't a great premise for a book I don't know what is!
The story gets even better when it turns out not everything in the world Avriel knows is real. For 3 hours a night, she remembers what life was like before a terrible spell was cast. She remembers the man she loved and was married to.
From that moment the story truly gets going and we learn a lot about the fae and the humans. We learn so much in fact, that it becomes a little confusing. We get glimpses of other worlds and things that might be important in later books, but all of these things combined make it a bit hard to follow the things that are truly important to the plot of this particular book.
I was looking forward to reading about a grand scheme between the royal courts. I think the author weaved a lot of great, original ideas into the story. However, the characters felt a bit flat to me. The story did not grab me as much as I'd hoped.
Still this book is certainly worth a read if you like books about fae, magic and airships, too!
