headcanonheadcase's review against another edition
3.0
3.5 rounded down to 3.
I enjoyed reading this book because it made me nostalgic for the fantasy romance I read in high school. It reminded me a lot of the spicy one I accidently stumbled upon. The High Mountain Court was fast paced and its shorter page count was very refreshing considering many other romantasy books run needlessly long. Remy and Hale were very likable. I really enjoyed their reluctant allies to lovers arc.
However, the plot twists were noticeable from a mile away, and the angst never materialized. Some chapters ended on a cliffhanger only for the problem to be resolved in the first paragraph of the next chapter.
Read this book if you like:
-Witches
-Fae
-Fallen Kingdoms
-Lost Magical Items
-Quests & Heists
-Reluctant Allies to Lovers
-Roguish Princes

It was utterly predictable with the basic fantasy outline. Fae, close proximity, unknown powers, tension. Not bad, but it left me feeling very meh about continuing the series.
