And oh my god do I adore our main characters and their romance with my entire being. Of course, as a fantasy romance, the highlight is the romance.

it's just fascinating and i sincerely hope we go more into the political intrigue in the sequel. and as the story progresses and we get more and more snippets of the myths and history of the world, you see more and more of the layers to the world. i like(?) how the fae creatures' cruelty stems not only from malicious intent but also from the way the society is structured. Set in the Morrígan Academy, humans are kept around as servants facilitating the lives of high fey creatures. i find Prince of the Sorrows' interpretation of the fae creature and their world to be very compelling. there's something about those beautiful but horrible creatures that's especially enticing.

Prince of the Sorrows completely swept me off my feet and I need everyone to read this lovely fantasy romance novel.įae is one of the most intriguing but hard-to-do-right paranormal creatures in fantasy stories.

Between the wolf, uncovering forbidden magic, and his growing feelings for the prince, Saffron will have to decide which is most important to him-his endorsement, the lives of his friends, or the prince’s life and wellbeing. While Prince Cylvan doesn't know Saffron can barely read, Saffron is determined to meet his end of the deal in order to remain in Alfidel-or, maybe, just to remain by Cylvan's side, as affections grow stronger every night they spend alone in the library together.īut as other human servants soon fall victim to a beast known only as “the wolf”, Saffron realizes he has embroiled himself in a manipulative reach for power like he never anticipated-and even Prince Cylvan cannot be trusted. In exchange for an endorsement, he and Cylvan form a geis where Saffron agrees to find a spell to strip power from Cylvan's true name. When mistaken identity leads to Saffron learning the true name of brooding, self-centered, high fey Prince Cylvan, what begins as a risk of losing his life (or his tongue) becomes an opportunity to earn the future he wants. And while getting an endorsement shouldn't be impossible, it's hindered by the fact his literacy is self-taught, using books stolen off of Morrígan Academy's campus of high fey students. The place he was traded from as a changeling-baby, and a place he is terrified of. Without an academic endorsement to make him valuable to the high fey, Saffron will be sent back through the veil to the human world.
