You have a mix of individual battles, but aren't sure where they all come together. At some point you lost sight of the war, what the bigger picture is, its North. The sexual tension between Brexley and Warwick, our main characters, was kept too long in a bubble. Unfortunately, towards the end, the story became stagnant. I couldn't put the book down or even breath afraid of what you could sense was coming. I mean, the story started building momentum. Her reality is yours and you're suffering with it. There are stories, moments, actions that just make you feel you are the character of the book. I could feel the tension building on my shoulders, my heart on my throat. My head is still trying to wrap around all of it.Īfter you leave that contextual jungle, things get interesting. And then, we zoom in to Budapest, with conflicts of its own. So, I guess it's more like Terra and Fairy in The Fae Chronicles, or like the wall dividing Prythian and the mortal lands in A Court of Thorns and Roses, right? On top of that, we are introduced to institutions and kings and ruling characters, east and west, UN, and names. At first I even thought we were talking of different planets, as in Earth as a planet and the Otherworld like territories outside the galaxy (but there's the wall). My imagination is trying to locate it in a map, in a a way. I still don't understand where this Otherworld was situated. To be honest, I found the whole explanation a bit confusing. It talks about the Earth and the Otherworld and about the conflict between fae and humans. The story begins by giving us some historical context about the world we are about to meet.

However, let me explain why I have rated it between 3,5 and 4. There was even a moment when I said, this is a 4,5 rating. My perception of the book changed throughout the story.
