I can safely say, I didn't read this for the romance. While I loved Tamlin, he wasn't the one for me. 
 Rhysand is probably my true love. No this isn't a love triangle, sadly. 
 So why 5 stars if the romance was lacking? I love the world the author created, while I was a bit confused. I loved the riddles and the action. I wasn't bored. I devoured this book. I wasn't looking forward to the sexy parts, I was trying to find a solution to the Fae's problem. 
 The sexy parts were lame. I think one scene got me excited. This author may just be a bit tame for my taste. 
 I put off reading this for the simple reason that it's YA, and I like my books a bit more mature. *wink* 
 Right now I needed a world to get lost into, and this book provided that. I've had my fill, so I probably won't read the next book until I get that itch again. 
 Changed my mind I guess Rhysand just might be the star of this show..... so on to the next!!!
