My mortal skin is gone. I’m one of them. One of the Folk. And all I feel is anger. I’m going to kill the Carlin and her sons for everything they did to me. It’s all I care about. But first, I have to navigate this new world. My new skin. My new brother. And, when I fall into her clutches, my fae mother—the Brid. The Seelie Queen. I don’t like what I’m becoming, but I can’t stop it. Something’s wrong with me. Something’s missing. There’s a hollow ache in my chest and I can’t fill it, no matter what I do. It’s like I’ve forgotten something vital from my time on unseelie land. Why do I feel so incomplete? Why do I have an oath etched onto my skin, one I don’t remember making? Why is there a tiny black feather nestled in my throat that I can’t bring myself to take off? Why do I feel so much longing every time I see a beautiful black-haired, black-eyed unseelie fae, even though I don’t remember him at all? My life has become yet another game of cat and mouse, but this time it’s not just the Carlin and her sons trying to get me. New threats lurk, and I have to force myself into this new fae skin to be able to fight them.

Not spoiler free.
I skipped the entire first half of this book and went right to where Ash gets his memories of Lonan back and I regret nothing. I did not want the angst I knew would likely have made me give this book 2 stars.
Still, this would have been 4 stars, except I'm somewhat bothered by how many people Ash is killing. When he slaughters the frozen guards, I just, I don't know man, I don't like it. Every blasé arrow fired just feels kinda cheap. Also the way this man kills people with a bow and arrow, idk. Less than a year and he's god-tier with it.
When he kills Brid. Tell me why this woman doesn't simply hide behind something while she waits for the King of Boars to kill him?
Tell me why he doesn't finish off Balor and perhaps even the Carlin. He has time to monologue, but not enough time to fire a couple extra arrows? CHEAP.
It's good he and Lonan find each other again. Predictable, but good.
Ash becomes the stereotypical good king at the end. “We're doing things differently from now on.”
Also, yes, Nua and Gillie, the stereotypical second couple that we know is there so the author can write a spinoff about them later.
I do like that both the seelie and unseelie queens are evil. That one's somewhat different from the usual.
Anyway, I patiently await book 3. Glad there is no cliffhanger here.
