I am really enjoying this series, Rayla has grown from a naive young girl to a woman who makes the best of her situations and forges ahead regardless of the costs to her. Some may say she is crazy and impulsive but I love that she stands up for those she cares about. Everyone seems to have their own agenda and she is finding it hard to discern who really cares for her and her wants her power. The Council suggested she bond with all of the Fae Lords to thwart Ainessa from trying to bond with her. Whilst that is a band-aid solution to her problem it does buy her some time to get to know the Fae Lords in their own environment and she can then ascertain if they are willing to bond with her for the right reasons. Having been so close to bonding to Heath, she feels almost cheated and does not understand the reasoning behind why she feels that way. Heath has gotten under her skin and for better or worse he is almost constantly in her thoughts. Despite being assured that this method of bonding would keep her safe, outside forces are at work and Rayla feels that she is not safe anyway. Time is running out and Rayla does not know who she can really trust but she must learn to trust herself first before she can make that ultimate decision. Hellhounds, wraiths and trolls become her champions as she refused to treat them as lesser beings because of what they are. Styx was one of my favourites, who wouldn't love a winged horse to whisk them away at a moment's notice. The Fae realms sounded so magical with crystal palaces and Atlantis style living, like something out of a dream. Any little girl who has ever wished that she was a Fairy princess would be envious of such a life. Will Rayla get her happily ever after or will she have to sacrifice herself to save those she loves?
