Brie finds an unexpected new ally in the Wild Lands, and together they try to find a way to get Finn and Sebastian to work together to save the Unseelie court and face the threat of queen Arya’s court before it’s too late. Alone in a dangerous land, Brie cannot trust anyone, and she doesn’t know where to go or what to do to escape Sebastian. Brie is fleeing the palace after waking up as a fae and learning about Sebastian's manipulation and lies. These Twisted Bonds picks up right where the first book ended. Objectively, I think this book should be 4 stars because of some flaws, but I just loved it SO much despite those flaws. It is not a perfect book, and there is definitely room for improvement, but despite that, I really enjoyed it and I flew through it. I said in my review of These Hollow Vows that the ending was very promising and that I was expecting a more enjoyable second book.
✅🆗 Rushed resolution of the BIG problem at the endĤ.5 stars - I admit that I am not 100% objective, my heart is guiding me right now. Greenburger Assoc.✅ Misha (can we get a spinoff pretty please?) Tension stemming from a swoon-worthy love triangle drives the tale when the action ebbs, and the denouement hints at a sequel.
Romance author Ryan’s YA fantasy debut offsets florid prose and familiar tropes with tight plotting, efficient worldbuilding, and escalating stakes. Then she learns that Ronan has been for two years living as a human-one for whom she has feelings. Brie has no qualms about double-crossing Ronan, and teams with light brown–skinned Unseelie rebel Finn to plan her heist. But Mordeus foils her rescue, and demands that Brie steal items from the Seelie palace in exchange for Jas’s freedom. Golden-skinned Seelie prince Ronan reportedly wants to marry a mortal, so Brie enters the faerie realm posing as a potential bride she knows there’s an inter-court portal and hopes to use it to liberate Jas. When the teens’ contract-holder sells Jas to sadistic Unseelie ruler King Mordeus, though, Brie vows to do whatever it takes to save her. Ivory-skinned Abriella Kincaid, 17, refuses to consort with faeries, as her mother ran off with one nine years ago, forcing Abriella and her sister Jasalyn, 14, into indentured servitude.
