review 1: Don't you hate it when your family keep the fact that you're a faerie princess a secret from you your entire life, and then some bloke shows up with magical powers and has to protect you from some other guys? And then they, like, fall hopelessly and irrevocably in love with you despite the fact that you don't really think you're all that? Even though it's fairly standard paranormal romance, it's fun and fast-paced and the ending is conclusive! How I love a standalone novel! It's very heavy on the romance (Lucas was all right, but Eldric was creepy - please, please can people stop writing YA novels where the love interest is an absolute tool?), but has plenty of action scenes and adventure and fun little twists. The main characters are supposed to be seventeen, but I think ... morea lot of their behaviour and narration suggested younger, and I think it's perhaps suitable for the younger end of the YA spectrum. (As an aside, I love that the faery people can magically teleport between the different realities. Teleportation is the best.)
review 2: OK. i just feel like the characters were never developed enough..... i also thought especially the thing about he was her chosen was out of the blue, and how does it work when she's going to get really old, or will he still appear old b/c the farie time is different? idk but it was definitely entertaining and quick so ill give it that, but definitely not the best book i read. i do however LOVE alyxandras writing style and she uses a lot of cool descriptions i hadn't seen before, and her writing is far away from cliche which i love. i will look into some of her other books less
