“Cami’s trapped in an underground castle with twelve ancient men.
What could possibly go wrong?Meanwhile, in the war-ravaged world beyond Cami’s troubles, Aerik is walking right into Queen Kyra’s trap, about to lose the battle that will end them all.
The only one who can warn him now is an ally posing as an enemy, who’ll be killed if he steps foot in Aerik’s kingdom.
Can the odds turn in the young king’s favor, or is this part of Cami’s story about the aftermath of their destroyed lives?”
Series Info/Source: This is the third book in the Evernight Fae series. There are seven books in this series. I borrowed this book through Kindle Unlimited.
Thoughts: This book starts out with Cami trying to figure out a way to get Night Garden soil for Aerik to start his own Garden. She ends up trapped in the Night Garden with a whole bunch of angry ancient men. Meanwhile Aerik is leading the Nightfolk into war against..well..a lot of people.
I thought this was one of the best written books of this series so far. The language and story progression didn’t have that awkward feel to them that previous books in the series have had. I also enjoyed the new characters introduced and the way the story is moving forward.
There was a ton of casual talk about rape in this book, along with implied rape and an almost rape scene. I wasn’t a huge fan of this subject matter and thought it was handled in a bit of an off-handed way; but it was fairly applicable to the story. So, I guess…just a warning about that.
I am still enjoying this series and plan to continue it. The writing was higher quality in this book and I continue to enjoy the characters and the different fae races.
My Summary (5/5): Overall I thought this was the best book in this series so far. I continue to enjoy the characters and the different fae races we are introduced to. I am curious to see how things progress as Aerik tries to take on more of the fae kingdoms and curious to see what Cami tries to decide to do to support him. I would recommend this to adult readers who enjoy faerie based fantasy books and don’t mind some more adult scenes in them.
