Kaye is used to drifting from place to place with her mother’s rock band, until an ominous attack forces them back to her childhood home. Kaye’s always had the unique ability to see faeries, so when she stumbles upon an injured faerie knight in the woods, she decides to save him.

But this fateful choice has dire consequences, as she soon finds herself the unwilling pawn in an ancient and violent power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms. Will Kaye escape with her life?

Meh, it was ok. Slow story, took awhile to get interesting.
I did not like narrator’s voice at all.

Slow… So slow

The story was very good, very traditional cruel and tricky fae which was a good difference from some fae in books where they only have hearts of gold. I like Kaye, and I love Roiben.

I love the accent she gave him even if her voice did make him sound a little girly

These books were my safe place as a kid and now almost fifteen years later I can love them and their characters all over again

I’m so unbelievably happy

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Holly Black is a brilliant writer. Her storytelling lifts the veil to the magical realm. Her characters are edgy but relatable. I love that you hear the story from several characters points of view.

I’m ensorcelled 🥰

Fun fantasy story

i’ve been waiting for this amazing story to join its companions on audible for years — and I was not disappointed once it did, This book was the gateway into Faerie for me so many years ago; it remains among my favorites to this day, along with other works of Holly Black. How I missed Kaye & Roiben!

worth the wait !!

It’s been a long while since I read this book and listening to it again just reminded me how much I love the writing style and story telling I wish Holly Black would write some adult (spicy) fantasy but for a YA book this series is sooo enjoyable and worth a read/ listen.

Such good dark fantasy

Volver a creer en el mundo de las hadas es siempre bueno, no importa la edad. Este título me recordó lo bello de la inocencia de la infancia, inocencia que se va perdiendo al ir creciendo... Recomiendo este título a cualquiera que quiera volver a creer, volver a soñar.

La historia.

This was always one of my comfort books as a kid, and the first to introduce me to the Fae realm. Most of my books growing up came straight from the library and this one was magical in a way that I could always find it. No matter what library I was in. I've read it so many times before the interweb that I didn't realize there was more until years ago. at the old age of 32 and having the luxury (and ever waning ADHD attention span) of being able to buy audio books, I found this gem and a lot of other books from Holly Black.

ANYWAY, I suppose I would call this a classic based on the writing style, world building, and timeless themes our girly brought into this one because it's just as good at 32 as it was at 13.

Thank you, love. Tithe is a treasure to me.

idk what else to say...
