AGH! The most stupid book of the series
This review will contain spoilers. Not enough to ruin the book, but will contain details only found while reading. If you do not want that, please stop reading. The author took Serena and turned her into a spoiled, selfish teenager. Everything was about her and how everything affects her. Most royalty, if they are good, take their people into consideration first opposed to their own wants and needs, Serena does not. She finds out that her fae father has been corresponding with her earth father and she freaks out because she feels betrayed, instead of happy that the two men, she calls father, are getting to know one another and are bonding over her. Tiearian and Serena can in a huge argument, over something stupid that once again Serena has taken out of proportion and she slaps Tiearian and in this book Tiearian's whole personality changes 180. He gets changed into a temperamental prideful man, totally out of character. Normally he is a man who pretty much worships Serena, but in this book he acts like he cannot stand her. In one argument, Serena more or less tells Danu to f off and Tiearian slaps her. First, he was never a person to raise his hand to a woman, especially not Serena. Secondly, it was not a hard slap more like a wake up slap. And of course Serena tells everyone how Tiearian beat her and then she states that she is thinking like an abused woman later on. Give me a break, she is not a victim. She wants Tiearian and/or Raza to choose her over Danu or any other God/Goddess. Yet, if someone is religious they will choose their God/Goddess first and personally I feel that Serena making someone choose her over their God/Goddess is truly narcissistic. I believe the author changed Tearian to bring Rasa onboard, which is totally ridiculous. Realistically, this should never been a reverse harem. If a character is strongly opposed to more than one partner and touts monogamy then forcing that character to have more than one partner does not fit. In addition, in reverse harem relationships, one does not love someone more than another. Usually the other(s) offer something different than the other, but the love for each is the same. In this book Serena chooses one because she loves that one more. If that is truly the case, then she should be in a monogamous relationship. Now a character named Killian has been introduced and it has been hinted that he may be a future love interest for Serena. Although he seems to be a likable character, he is very immature and not a match for Serena. Serena usually matches up with brooding alpha men who let her spread her wings, while being there to catch when needed. Killian is more like that friend that talks you into doing something stupid with them, but loving every moment of doing it. Great friends but not great lovers. Also, Serena starts to drop The f bomb and other swear words everyone is surprised but she tells them that is how she was before going to fairy. However, in book 1 she did not speak like that as an extinguisher. There were so many other examples and incidents that just ruined the book and characters. The plot was great, in regards to the evil uncle with his evil wife, but the whole story was destroyed by the author's decision to change two main characters personality. If the next book is like this one, then I will not finish this series after all. In all honesty, if this is how the author handles her reverse harem books, I will not read them, and that is a shame because they are usually my guilty pleasures.
