The Queen by C.J. Abedi



Blurb

In the stunning conclusion to the Fae trilogy, Caroline and Devilyn fight to preserve their love despite dark forces threatening to tear them apart.
“An epic end to a phenomenal series.” —Margaret Stohl, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Beautiful Creatures

As Caroline struggles to accept her rightful place as Queen of the Light Fae, her relationship with Devilyn, son of the Dark King, seems not only doomed, but dangerous. They know their connection is undeniable, but for others, their love is an insidious threat.

Trapped in a plot concocted by the Dark King Alderon and his evil associate, Puck, Caroline must search her history and develop her own powers in order to survive. And as Devilyn’s father appeals to the Dark inside his son, Caroline fears Devilyn will succumb to those Dark instincts before they can defeat Alderon.

Weaving together narratives from Caroline and Devilyn’s pasts as well as their present, The Queen finishes the fight between Light and Dark. Will Caroline and Devilyn’s love outlast the war? And will Caroline live to rule as the Queen of the Light?

In this YA bestseller, optioned for film by Ridley Scott, the battle between Light and Dark is about to begin.

Caroline Ellis' sixteenth birthday sets into motion a series of events that have been fated for centuries. A descendant of Virginia Dare, the first child born in the lost colony of Roanoke, and unaware of her birthright as the heir to the throne of the Light Fae, it isn't until Caroline begins a tumultuous relationship with Devilyn Reilly that the truth of her heritage is revealed.

Devilyn is the only Fae who is both of the Light and of the Dark, and struggles to maintain that precarious balance to avoid succumbing to the power of the Dark within him. He is the only one who can save Caroline from those who would destroy her and destroy all hope for unity among the Fae. He promises Caroline that he will protect her at all costs, even when it means protecting her from himself. Told from the alternating perspectives of Caroline and Devilyn, FAE draws on mysteries, myths and legends to create a world, and a romance, dangerously poised between Light and Dark.

The Queen: Fae - Book 3 by C.J. Abedi Review

The Queen: Fae - Book 3The Queen: Fae - Book 3 by C.J. Abedi
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

C. J. Abedi’s The Queen is an amazing finish to the Fae Series.

The story starts out with a diary entry about the Lost Colony in 1590. It then transitions, to modern times where Devilyn and Caroline are at a school Halloween party, and Caroline is kidnaped. I found their costumes amusing. Devilyn struggles throughout the story, feeling that their relationship puts her in danger.

Caroline has grown tremendously throughout this trilogy. She comes into her powers and is continually challenged by the dark Fae. She is intelligent and brave. Devilyn is dealing with the responsibilities of being King. He feels like his dark side is consuming his light. He blames himself for putting Caroline in danger. He loves Caroline and would give her up if it meant she was safe.

Caroline, Devilyn, and their friends/family are put through numerous challenges. The dark Fae are no longer following their laws. Alderon continues to be a lethal opponent. Some interesting things happen with him, especially toward the end of the story. Puck lives up to his mischievous reputation and is a dangerous foe.

I like how the story flashes back to 1590-01 and the diaries of Captain John White and Eleanor Dare about the Lost Colony. I also, like that the story is told from both Devilyn’s and Caroline’s point of view.

C. J. Abedi’s The Queen is well-written and has a wonderful plot. The story is full of excitement and twists. I would love to see this trilogy turned into a movie or television series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Fae by C. J. Abedi

FaeFae by C.J. Abedi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sixteen years old, Caroline Ellis, has no idea that she is adopted and the heir to the throne of the Light Fae.

Devilyn Reilly is the only Fae to be born of both Light and Dark, son of the Dark King and heir to the Dark throne.

It is prophesied that Caroline and Devilyn are soul mates and through their union, the Fae will be unified. Unfortunately, Devilyn’s father wants Caroline dead and to turn Devilyn to the dark side of the Force (Sorry couldn’t help the Star Wars humor).

In order to protect the unknowing Caroline, Devilyn disguises himself as a new student at her High School. He attempts to fight his destiny and not fall in love with Caroline. Originally, he pushes her not to like him. However, fate has other plans, and the two are matched up on a long term history project. No matter what his current feelings are, he will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

Caroline is a humble loveable character, which has no clue that she is desirable. Devilyn comes off as being perfect but struggles to believe that he could be good/light enough for Caroline. I love that Fae was written in a two-person point of view. It made you understand what Caroline and Devilyn were thinking and made both characters seem very believable.

I love the cover; it drew my attention to the book. The colors are rich and vibrant; the font is perfect, and the photo enchanting.

I had a hard time putting this book down. There was never a dull moment. I can’t wait to see what C. J. Abedi comes up with in the next book of the trilogy.
