REVIEW - King of Storms and Feathers (Courts of the Star Fae Realms Book 1) by Juno Heart

The Book
Release Date: 5 July 2023

I wake in a cage at the gilt market with no memory of my name.
When the fae King of Storms and Feathers purchases me, I vow to escape his palace of dust and gold, reclaim my memories, and return to the home that haunts my visions—a city of ruins in the decaying forests of the human realm. 

In the meantime, I’ll pretend to be what King Arrowyn wants—an obedient green-eyed bird, chained and powerless, his for the taunting and taking.
But when I escape and fall into viler clutches, Arrow hunts me down, determined to retrieve his disobedient, most valued possession.

The King of Storms and Feathers is the first book in the SPICY adult fantasy romance series, Courts of the Star Fae Realms. Readers who enjoy angsty enemies-to-lovers tension, a strong human heroine, and a TRULY morally gray fae king who yearns to control her but, instead, falls helplessly under her spell will love this book!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: 

** This series contains dark elements and is suitable for mature readers. 

SEE TRIGGERS BELOW...

A warning—he’s mean to her until he isn’t, and you're going to hate him until you don't. ;)

* spicy scenes, including mild dub-con (power imbalance)
* attempted (g)rape (not by MC)
* discussion of death of MC’s family
* slavery, addiction to gold serum, strong language, and violence
* amnesia trope
* and oh boy, Arrow! He’s a TRUE MORALLY GRAY HERO, and as I already said, please be WARNED - you’re gonna hate him till suddenly you don't! ;)
* although all plot elements are wrapped up nicely, there's a very juicy cliffhanger that’ll make you howl at your ereader and LONG for book 2!

My Review    5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I am really glad that I was able to read this book.

The world building was really good, the writing was good and the story really pulled me along and I really cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Although there were elements of a darker type of story, they were not as dark as I thought they might be so it was an easy read for me, but it certainly showed the main characters growing as individuals and pulled them closer together even when there were both unsure of the reactions the other would get or for Arrow, confused when Leaf did not react as he thought she would.

Both complimented the other and helped them to see outside of their own heads and experiences and were there for each other when they needed it most.

We get villains, we get new friends, betrayal and a very spicy kind of love.

The book ends in a cliff hangar that certainly has you chomping at the bit to get the next book in the series.  I will certainly be reading more of this author in the future.
