A ROMANTASY with realistic grief and UNIQUE pOVs

I had the pleasure of narrating the first 3 books in the Fae Rising series, written by Miranda Lyn, for Dreamscape Media alongside Nick Mondelli. Something unique about this series that I really loved was that it was written in alternating POVs between the two main characters, but they weren't love interests!

So often in Romantasy we jump back and forth between perspectives of the same romantic relatonship and, while it's satisfying to see the inner world of each character as they fall in love or lust with each other, it was so refreshing to have these two storylines exist knowing they weren't careening toward romance.

It made the experience of reading their stories so exciting because I didn't know how and when they would intersect and what they would mean to each other. Don't worry, there was romance and it was done BEAUTIFULLY, but it existed for each of the main characters in their perspective chapters and was part of their story but not the main plot.

The other thing that was remarkable about this book was the realistic depiction of death on the page and the grief that naturally follows. It was an emotional roller coaster narrating those chapters but Miranda captured something so raw and human in a way that I really connected with.

PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:

In the land of fae, you're either the hunter or the hunted.

Ara, a high fae in the Marsh Court, was trained since birth to kill. When it comes down to it, can she sever the tendrils of her morality and do it? After being taken prisoner, she manages an escape riddled with questions, only to arrive home to absolute heartbreak. Discovering everything she knew to be a lie, she sets out on a dangerous journey to learn the truth of her upbringing. But when the hunters begin to come for her, she realizes she isn't the only one who will need her lethal skills.

Meanwhile, Temir, a lesser fae in the vicious Wind Court, hates no one more than himself. Gifted with the magic of healing and therefore protected from the prejudices befallen the rest of the lesser fae, he is smothered beneath the firm hand of the northern king. But when he makes a discovery that could change the world, he must decide—produce the serum and convince the one he is falling in love with to run away with him or let fear suppress him into defeat.
