Feyly Pleased

Never-Contented Things by Sarah Porter is a creepy, brilliant, masterpiece. The book reminds me of And the Trees Crept In by Dawn Kurtagich because of the eerie environment the main characters seem to find themselves in, and the way the characters act around each other with the bizarre things.

To be honest, I loved the characters and the fact that the author wrote the fey correctly. That fey is not afraid to cause mayhem like most fey books I have read. It is obvious the author did her homework when she wrote this novel. However, I kind of wish it was mentioned that they were fey because not once does any character acknowledge what they are or what their world is. If it were not in the title, I would not think that they were fey. It was so well done that they could have been brand new creatures no one has ever discovered.

There are only three things that brought it down from being five stars:

1. The fey does not get mentioned by name.
2. How on earth did two straight girls suddenly fall in love with each other? I feel like I needed a bit more of a clue that that was going to be a thing because it kind of felt like it got thrown into the book for a more diversified approach.
3. What happened to Josh? We spend so much time investing in Ksenzia and Josh being madly in love with each other to all of a sudden she does not get to even see him. If he is her heart then why did that ending happen?

I would definitely recommend reading it, and I will most likely buy it. If anyone knows the answers to those question, please let me know. I would like to understand, so I can really appreciate the beauty. I am not blaming Ksenzia because she is emotionally uninvolved most the time, but when did Lexi decide she loves girls? I am so confused.

4 out of 5 stars.
