The Heir the Fae Forgot Review
By Analeigh Ford, Eden Beck, Sabrina Thatcher
Blurb:
A stolen crown awaits…if she can live long enough to claim it.
The Lord of the Wildness has finally gotten what he wants. He has Aurra in his grasp, and he’s going to do everything he can to keep her there.
She was warned not to trust Icarus—to fear him, even—but he’s the only fae willing to give her answers. She’s not afraid of him, but his powers are another thing entirely.
Shiel was right about that, at least.
The dark court is a place of mystery as much as it is danger, but at least it doesn’t try to hide what it is. The same can’t be said of the fae who rescued her.
Shiel lied to her. He spoke of a duty to the kingdom, but the only master he serves is himself. He’s one of the fae lords out to use her for his own gain, a ruthless warrior willing to do anything to secure the safety of his own court. She might be able to forgive him if he was willing to admit it. Maybe.
She made the mistake of trusting him once. She won’t make that mistake again.
Not with him. Not with anyone.
She’s survived worse than what this new world and its glamour can throw at her. These are courts of traitors, and if she’s going to survive amidst them, she’s going to have to be a traitor, too.
Even if that starts with betraying her own heart, the part of her these fae seem most determined to break first.
The Heir The Fae Forgot is the second book in A Court of Thieves and Traitors, a slow burn (but extra spicy) dark enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance series with multiple love interests, hidden powers, handsome dark-haired villains … and most importantly, a FMC determined not to let anything stand in the way of destiny.
This series will be rapid releasing monthly between November 2022-March 2023.

Writing Style:
Is the writing style interesting?
Yes, the imagery and description is detailed without being info-dumpy. I also love the way our authors have written the characters of Shiel, Finch, and Zev. They play a huge part in why I love this series, because the author truly lets their personalities shine through the things that they do, and it’s the little things at that.
What POV?
The story is told from the POV of our main character Aurra. As she tries to figure out this world that she has been thrown into.
Character information:
Who are the main characters:
Our FMC is Aurra, a fae female raised as a human and with a human family. Only to be rescued by our fae leading men Shiel, Finch, and Zev. That’s at least where we left off in the first book. She enters the court of the Wildness and encounters Icarus again. She becomes a little wishy washy it had seemed, but I also understand where she was coming from. She seems to get over it quickly and realizes who her true allies are.
Which character do you find the most compelling?
I love watching Finch interact with things. There’s this one scene with a pixie and a lantern that made me squeal because of how cute it was.
Can you relate to the characters?
I can relate to what Aurra is going through because I have been there where she is not knowing who to trust, and not wanting to make the mistake of trusting the wrong person and getting myself into a worse situation.
