After Abriella's sister was sold to the fae, she thought life couldn't get any worse. But when she suddenly finds herself caught in a web of lies of her own making - loving two princes and trusting neither - things are not quite as clear as she once thought.
As civil war wages in the Court of Darkness, Brie finds herself unable to choose a side. How can she know where she stands when she doesn't even know herself anymore? In this darkly romantic thrill ride, the more Faerie is torn apart from the inside, the clearer it becomes that prophecies don't lie and Brie has a role to play in the fate of this magical realm - whether she likes it or not.

Another fairly predictable novel, similar to it's predecessor. There were a couple of things that happened that I was not expecting, but still overall predictable. I didn't really feel like Brie had any character growth, despite being told that she did. The biggest thing that saved this book was Misha and Finn. I would kill for their POVs. I wish we got to see more of Misha and learn more about him. Though, to my understanding, he will be in Beneath These Cursed Stars, so hopefully we get more of him. Also, for a character who is a huge catalyst, especially in the first book, we don't really see much of Jasalyn in either book.
Overall, this duology isn't life changing but I did enjoy it. Take that as you will.
(also why does the cover say companion when it is the sequel? imo companion means set in the same world about different characters with a different story that might have spoilers for the other novel, but reading the other novel isn't necessary. It is definitely necessary to read These Hollow Vows first before These Twisted Bonds)
