I may never recover.Fantasy isn’t my favorite genre, because I have a tendency to get bogged down in the particulars of the world instead of swept up in the story as much as I want to (plus with the unusual names I have a terrible habit of forgetting who's who when they're off the page for a chapter or so.or sometimes less.and then have to search to remind myself who they are)–I freely admit this is just me, though, so if you’re more of a fantasy lover than I am, expect this to be closer to a five-star read for you. Throw in some healthy banter with Luc (and a duel! with swords!), truly lovely chemistry, and a seemingly impossible-to-overcome conflict, and I just dare you to put this book down before you’re done.That last 15% or so? It's brutal. Wolff’s love of the cliffhanger ending?Zera’s snarkiness and sass (much like Isis’s in her Lovely Vicious series) really makes this book So. GAH! How could I have forgotten, even for a minute, Ms. So begins a game of cat and mouse between a girl with nothing to lose and a boy who has it all. The prince's honor has him quickly aiming for her throat.
She's inelegant, smart-mouthed, carefree, and out for his blood. No one can challenge him-until the arrival of Lady Zera.
Until Nightsinger asks Zera for a prince's heart in exchange for her own, with one addendum: if she's discovered infiltrating the court, Nightsinger will destroy Zera's heart rather than see her tortured by the witch-hating nobles.Ĭrown Prince Lucien d'Malvane hates the royal court as much as it loves him-every tutor too afraid to correct him and every girl jockeying for a place at his darkly handsome side.
With her heart in a jar under Nightsinger's control, she serves the witch unquestioningly. Bound to the witch Nightsinger, Zera longs for freedom from the woods they hide in. Zera is a Heartless-the immortal, unaging soldier of a witch. An Amazon "Best Book of the Month: Science Fiction & Fantasy"
