Synopsis

They’re no longer prisoners to the fae court, but now two elven sisters are each bound by shackles of the heart—the sequel to the national bestseller Faebound, hailed as “a devastatingly romantic and breathtaking fantasy” (Tasha Suri).

United by war.
Betrayed by destiny.
Cursed by love.

Yeeran was born for war but is unprepared for love. She has left her new lover, the Queen of the fae, to return to her homeland, only to find that her former lover now threatens war against the fae.

Left behind, her sister Lettle is determined to break the curse that binds the fae to their realm. When a stranger appears in the city, Lettle is convinced he’s the key. But the Fates that once spoke to her have fallen silent.

Can Lettle and Yeeran discover the secret behind the curse—and unite these two worlds before they destroy each other?

I was so excited to get this as an ARC (thank you Netgalley & Random House Publishing Group!) but this is such a hard book for me rate because I while think Saara El-Arifi does a good jump in continuing to expand the lore of book one, the actual writing gets to me at times.

I LOVE THIS WORLD!!!! No second book in a trilogy issues to be seen here 👀 It’s hard to review second books without dropping spoilers so I’ll keep this brief but allude to what to expect if you were on the fence about continuing.

Thank you to Del Rey and Netgalley for providing me with this eARC!
