Desciption
It’s good to be queen. Except when it’s a total disaster. Syl Skye, newly crowned Queen of Fair Faerie, would be psyched to be the ruler of her Summer realm, except for two things. First, her girlfriend Rouen Rivoche became Queen of Dark Faerie, the Winter realm. That would be great except the Winter realm’s always been at war with Summer. By tradition, that makes Rouen Syl’s mortal enemy. That said, love can break past old hatred, right? Especially with a new foe about to attack them both. Ah, no. Which brings us to Syl’s second problem. Rouen’s under a dark spell and doesn’t remember Syl, their lives, their love. Worse, if Syl doesn’t break the spell by the next new moon, Rouen will forget her forever. To defeat their foe, it’ll take two soul-bound queens whose hearts and minds act as one. Trouble is, no one has ever broken the dark spell Rouen suffers from. Good thing Syl isn't the type of queen who gives up easily.
Review
I received an ARC copy of this book from NetGalleyactual rating: 2.5I'm kind of torn on this one. On the one hand I really enjoyed most of it ...right up until the last chapter. It's cool to see Rouen playing larger shows [although I wish it were in better circumstances] and it's cool to see Syl interacting more with her friends and I liked that the dark fae kids from the other novella played a big part in the plot ...but plot-wise the whole thing was entirely pointless.I mean I get that generally large plot-shaping events don't happen in the novellas between main books, but maybe that means that this was not a good place for a novella because I am feeling pretty frustrated now. I mean [SPOILERS] we start the book with Rouen not remembering who Syl is at all and then we go through all that crap and have a huge fight and 'win' and we are left with ...Rouen STILL not remembering who Syl is [or 'remembering' but thinking it is a lie, which is a technical difference but honestly all comes out to the same thing]. I'm still giving it three stars because it is technically as well written as all the other books in the series and I did enjoy most of it, but I'm definitely annoyed at where we are left at the end and it almost feels like I could have skipped the entire thing and not even noticed a difference.
