About this listen

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?

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

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.

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 ensorcelled 🥰

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.

worth the wait !!

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!

Such good dark fantasy

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.

Solid--a classic example of Holly Black's Genius

Gorgeously constructed, organic worldbuilding, relatable characters, immersive plot, dialogue that propels the story forward, excellent audiobook narration--a 5 star read. Will read again. Highly recommend this series to any fan of Holly Black, V.E. (Victoria) Schwab, Neil Gaiman, or Krystal Sutherland.

Great book, Unsatisfying ending

I did enjoy the book. Didn't like the ending. I feel like she left so many threads hanging. What about her mom? What about him and his new role? What about Kaye and her new discovery about herself? I feel like i needed few more chapters to flesh out the end of the third act.

Edit Im reading Valiant thinking thats the end of our heros stories, nope theres a third book which ties all of them together. So nevermind, still think more story could have been told here but theres a whole nother book which is cool!
