What first captured my attention were the descriptions of the ancient, timely buildings of Morrigan Campus. I thought about POTS for hours after I finished last night, and there is genuinely so much to unpack. I thought, well it must be the fae, right? Perhaps they are not my thing.Īpparently, I was incredibly wrong. None of the books I've read have much in common, besides the fact that I've never finished them. I don't know why I've never been able to finish a book about fae before, especially considering I am a huge fantasy reader. The only apprehension I had was the fae aspect.

Dark Academia is one of my top genres, and I adore dark, gothic atmospheres. When I first heard about Prince of the Sorrows, I was intrigued by pretty much all of the information about it. Most of the popular YA and adult fae books? I've DNF'ed them all. I have read a lot of books about fae, but I've never read one like this. Prince of the Sorrows is a queer fantasy romance for New Adults. Between the wolf, uncovering forbidden magic, and his growing feelings for the prince, Saffron will have to decide which is most important to him-his endorsement, the lives of his friends, or the prince’s life and wellbeing. While Prince Cylvan doesn't know Saffron can barely read, Saffron is determined to meet his end of the deal in order to remain in Alfidel-or, maybe, just to remain by Cylvan's side, as affections grow stronger every night they spend alone in the library together.īut as other human servants soon fall victim to a beast known only as “the wolf”, Saffron realizes he has embroiled himself in a manipulative reach for power like he never anticipated-and even Prince Cylvan cannot be trusted. In exchange for an endorsement, he and Cylvan form a geis where Saffron agrees to find a spell to strip power from Cylvan's true name. When mistaken identity leads to Saffron learning the true name of brooding, self-centered, high fey Prince Cylvan, what begins as a risk of losing his life (or his tongue) becomes an opportunity to earn the future he wants. And while getting an endorsement shouldn't be impossible, it's hindered by the fact his literacy is self-taught, using books stolen off of Morrígan Academy's campus of high fey students. The place he was traded from as a changeling-baby, and a place he is terrified of. Without an academic endorsement to make him valuable to the high fey, Saffron will be sent back through the veil to the human world.
