Abriella “Brie” Kincaid is a thief - though by necessity, of course. She steals from the
richest of the rich, counting on a cover of darkness to keep her hidden, but only to barely scrape
together enough money to meet her growing monthly payments to her aunt. It’s the only way
that she and her younger sister can survive in a world full of fae, self-interested nobles and
royalty. She only takes joy in seeing the mage’s apprentice next door: the handsome, kind
Sebastian. But when her aunt gets tired of waiting for their debt to be paid, she sells Brie’s sister
to the dark fae court. Brie is free - but at what cost? Against Sebastian’s wishes, she hurls
herself into a world of dark and light, of princes and brides, and of a magic she didn’t know she
possessed in order to find and free the only family she has left
The plot in this book is intriguing, the worldbuilding fun and full of escapism, and the
romance and rivalry easy to get invested in. While the prose isn’t the most beautiful and the
character’s don’t have the most depth, it’s a fun read that doesn’t take much time. It felt similar
to ACOTAR but without a lot of the elements that made me stop reading ACOTAR. Overall, I
would recommend it for anyone who likes a good YA/fantasy/romance, and I would rate it four
stars.
