A Veil of Dusk and Deceit

Veiled Realm Series #4

De: Analeigh Ford

Narrado por: Caitlin Davies, Edward Black

The glamour is back . . . and with it, so is the High King of Avarath.

The fae prince, Nyx, has finally achieved what he and the others set out to do so long ago, but this time, it was not Delphine whose life ended on the High King's altar. It was her brother's.

With the High King awoken, all of Avarath and the human realm sits on the brink of war, with only one hope to save them. There's a loophole in the deal the high king once made with the humans, but in order to fulfill it, they're going to risk the wrath of yet another faerie court.

For there are three high courts of faerie: The Court of Avarath. The Court of Elysia. And the Court of the Afterworld.

Avarath was lucky that the final king of faerie turned a blind eye to the first war, but Avarath's luck has run out. One by one, the princes of Avarath fall to the glamour, to duty, to fate-until even a king crumbles, too. By the time that war is truly upon them, Delphine has finally come to understand what it is to now be fae, too.

If only she'd been cursed, instead. That would have been simpler. Then, at least, the whole of fate wouldn't rest on her shoulders, and hers alone.

Contains mature themes.

Are you kidding

The story is not unrealistic because of the fantasy aspect but because no one in their right mind would act like these characters. This is just self serving acotar fan fiction.

Unfinished

I love Caitlin as a narrator- but this whole story line was awful. The series ended with SO many plots unfinished, no questions answered. It's like someone just made a fanfiction that should have stayed a fanfiction. By no means is this me bagging on fanfic- I write it and enjoy it myself- I just feel this shouldn't be a published book series, at least not yet.

It felt like it was written by an amateur. I loved the idea of these books- the execution was very disappointing. The whole series feels like a first or second draft. The ending felt like a bandaid was put over everything, or that the author was sick of writing the story and just half-assed an ending.

I'd LOVE if there was another book to truly finish all the story lines and tie everything together, but since there's not one I just feel like I wasted a lot of my time and money.
