I found this story to be an attempt to shove every fantasy trope/buzzword into one story. Fae, magic-wielders, demons, vampires, werewolves, princes of Hell, the 7 deadly sins are somehow all mashed together as one or two kinds of being. It’s an okay storyline with a chosen one, prophesy, competition over a lady who must-accept-her-fate/fated-mates/love-triangle/reverse-harem kind of thing with some action and adventure, but I just found it incredibly generic, and even lost track of characters as they all kind of run together. The characters too are very one-dimensional.

The narration is okay — I liked the changing male/female narrators for changing POV, but it happens so rarely — and the accents aren’t terrible but not great. I again found it hard to distinguish between individual character voices.

I’ll probably give book 2 a shot to see if it improves from here, but don’t have high expectations for much unique or engaging story or narration, I’m afraid.

If you’re looking for a short, shallow, standard YA fantasy incorporating ALL the tropes that you can listen to without really listening to, this is for you.
