Queen B’s Decree: There is a rift that separates our current world and the Fae land and they are kept very separate. But after the rift opened, some humans were blessed with a bit of magic, including Avery. Avery has the skill of healing, but she’s becoming ill herself, so she’s brought to the Fae as a last ditch effort.
The younger prince, Riel, is assigned as her babysitter. And Avery is instantly smitten. Although Riel is much more reserved about his feelings, we do get his point-of-view a few times for more insight into his character. I enjoyed the evolution of their relationship, how sweet it was.
The worldbuilding is easy to understand and grasp, so this feels like a great read for a fantasy newbie. And while this feels more like a young adult book, there are some spicy scenes between Avery and Riel.
Technically this is the first in a new series, but the ending felt complete and I’m interested in more.
