About this listen

From the internationally best-selling author of Sorcery of Thorns comes a breathtaking fantasy story of danger, lust and forbidden love. This is the perfect story for fans of Cassandra Clare, Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses series, and Holly Black!

Every enchantment has a price....

Isobel is an artistic prodigy with a dangerous set of clients: the immortal fair folk. Yet when she receives her first royal patron—Rook, a fairy prince—she makes a terrible mistake. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes—a weakness that could cost him his life.

Furious, Rook escorts Isabel to his kingdom to stand trial for her crime, but their journey is full of danger. Forced to depend on each other for survival, will their alliance blossom into something more? After all, love violates the fair folks’ ruthless laws...but are some matters worth the risk?

"[A]n ideal pick for fans of Holly Black, Maggie Stiefvater and Laini Taylor" (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

I had a good time listening to this. I loved how Rook and Isobel's relationship progressed throughout the story. For me, the best highlight is the adventure they were on. Isobel's character is well written as well. I do feel that some plot points were unfinished, so I would love a sequel that addresses them. However, this didn't dull my enjoyment in any way, and we have a happy conclusion. The narration is top-notch!

Enjoyable listen

This was such an interesting take on the fae, completely unlike any I've read before. The world Rogerson created was richly detailed and fascinating, and Isobel was a brilliant, courageous protagonist. I loved all the little details and being able to visualise the world and characters. This is perfect if you love YA fantasy and folklore with a little romance and some interesting twists!

Lush and descriptive with incredible world building

Great story and perfectly narrated. Beautifully written, depth in characters. Would make for a must-see movie.

Loved it.
It's a shame they compare the author to the likes of Maas - Rogerson's writing is worlds above and the world building here, in far fewer pages, is smart, balanced and satisfying. I would say she's more like Diana Wynne Jones, with humour to match. I don't remember the last time I laughed like that at a book (at the intended points), which is also partly due to the narrator.
I liked the choice to make Rook's voice the way it is. I found I got used to it as Isobel got to know him better which I thought worked really well.

Quirky, intricate, funny, and clever.

An enjoyable pleasant listen - with an interesting heroine and hero , and an unusual unique story. I am glad that I stumbled across it

I didn’t realise how much I would feel meh about the forbidden love trope, but was a lovely comforting background book for me! Dunno if I’ll read again but don’t regret listening!

Predictable but comfy

I feel a bit disappointed in this book. It all happens so quick without much character development. The narrator seems to make Rook sound like an old man which was really off putting for me. I don’t know why this books gets so much hype.
Some good lore and magic included which is why it wasn’t a total fail.

Disappointing

The narration for this by Julia Whelan is just outstanding. Margaret Rogerson’s writing is so beautifully lyrical to match and the complainant ion makes for such easy listening that flows so wonderfully. I really cannot recommend this enough. The world building and the quirks of magic, the aesthetic and the adorable and grotesque characters. Just wow. I’ve just bought the paperback so I can marvel at the sentences up close because I wanted to save the art of her writing on paper.

Incredible

nice book, a fun read, love the narrator. has a lot of weird potholes and the romance is very rushed and odd but I guess that's what you get with a standalone.

nice performance and entertaining book
