Summary: A prodigy painter names Isobel paints for faeries, the most dangerous and vain creatures in the land of Whimsy. Faeries crave human creations and pay for them in enchantments, many of which are poorly worded and cause chaos instead of their intended effect. Isobel is careful though, with all of her dealing with the Fae. That is, until she meets Rook, the prince of the Autumnlands. As she holds her painting sessions with Rook, she begins to feel something for him. Now, in love with a faerie prince, she is dragged off into faerie because she painted him in a way that has put his life in jeopardy. While in the faerie lands, she discovers a power within herself and her work and must fight her way back home.

Thoughts: I truly enjoyed this book! It was a quick read with a really cute story. Faeries happen to be one of my favorite topics to read about, so I love seeing their lore integrated into popular games, books, and movies. This book took an even different spin on the faerie courts than what you would typically see in books. Rather than just the Seelie and Unseelie courts, Faeries are divided into courts based on the four seasons. I didn’t like how the main characters ideals were built up so much in the beginning just to be almost completely smashed to bits, but it’s a standard love story/lovesick sort of thing to do. Regardless, the book was really enjoyable with a nice happy ending that even had a little surprise twist. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a standalone, light read in the fantasy genre.
