Was it a boring-as-hell conclusion? Yes, a thousand times yes.

The way things play out, though, just got very repetitive and tiresome, and it felt like too much telling versus showing when it came to how much Brie and Finn meant to each other. I would’ve respected Brie even less than I do if she’d given Sebastian a pass after everything he did to her. I appreciate that Ryan didn’t drag out the love triangle too much in this book. She’s not bright enough to come up with any clever solutions, so her grand idea is to just suffer endlessly on the behalf of everyone else. I know the mark of a good leader is sometimes the willingness to sacrifice for the good of their people, and it’s nice that Brie cares about all the little faerie children, but…like, come on. I’m not even annoyed that Brie is the special chosen one, but I cannot abide the whiny, self-sacrificing nonsense she put me through. I was on the fence about Brie during the first book, but I’m putting my BFF charm back in my pocket and casually strolling away after this one. Brie has been lied to, manipulated, and tossed around like a worthless pawn, so it’s time she takes the situation into her own hands and makes the tough choices. She finds an ally in the king of the Wild Fae, who encourages her to help the dying Unseelie court and figure out a way to get the right ruler on the throne to avoid war. Once Brie realizes she still has access to the crown’s shadow powers, she throws a (completely justifiable) tantrum and storms out of Sebastian’s castle to forge her own way. He also failed to mentioned that his interest in her, aside from being in lurve, was because she secretly wore the lost Crown of Oberon. Her beloved prince of the Court of the Sun, Sebastian, had finally convinced her to bond with him, except he left out the part where she would die after it happened and be reborn a faerie against her will. When we left Brie at the end of her first book, she was having kind of a no good, very bad day. I find it a weird choice to only feature one of the men in this love triangle. I’m pretty sure Brie isn’t going to let Sebastian get that physically close to her, especially as the novel opens. Relationship Status: It’s Not Me, It’s YouĬareful, Sweetie: spoilers ! This is the second book in the These Hollow Vows series, so if you haven’t read These Hollow Vows, you should probably hop back in the TARDIS and go curl up by the pool in the library with the first book before continuing.
