Cool premise with some interesting ideas. There’s kind of a humor to the story but it’s about some pretty dark things. Riley was abandoned when she was a baby; if you’ve read the prequel, Favor, then you’ll known more of what happened, but Riley has no or very little knowledge about what happened when she was a baby. She has been through foster home after foster home, and is now in a mental asylum because she blamed the Fae for a fire that left her hands scarred and someone dead; she’s been in the asylum for 6 years. She is approaching her 21st birthday, and will finally be able to leave the asylum.
Riley has had a guardian type person, Nine, who has shown himself to her and only her since she was a baby. He has told her about the Fae and warned her about the danger she’s in from them since she was young, but now Riley believes it’s all hallucinations and such. Riley has been through a lot, so she has difficulty trusting in her own mind; when odd things happen, Riley doesn’t know what to make of it. Danger is getting closer and closer to her.
I enjoyed the whole premise for this story. The Fae stuff is fun and has some unique elements there. Interesting characters too! Riley has issues; she’s had to deal with so much, but she still remains strong. Nine definitely has that whole mysterious thing going on; we don’t get a lot on him, but it’ll be interesting to see how he’ll be involved more in the story. The Fae in this book aren’t really the nice type; they are more the shifty type of Fae that you really should just not even involve yourself in. Unfortunately for Riley, she doesn’t really get that option. This story is mainly set in the asylum, so expect scenarios dealing with some tough situations with mental illness. This story also ends in a cliffhanger, so you’ll need to continue the story. There’s still lots of story to be told, but I’m excited to read where this story goes.
