Synopsis
Until an oracle predicted my regal future, I’d never imagined myself rising above the curve of my round ears. After all, I was the magicless halfling loved by beasts but loathed by every pure-blooded faerie at court. Well . . . by all but one.
Dante Regio, prince of Luce, had owned my heart since he gave me my first kiss. If gathering a slew of iron relics could help me overthrow the current monarch and crown his brother to rule at my side, then treasure hunting I’d go.
If only the oracle had warned me what winged demon I was releasing into the world.
And that I’d become this demon’s obsession.

Review
House of Beating Wings is a very entertaining new fantasy book.
Fallon is the main character, and I liked her a lot. I feel like she is very naive, but it works for the character. While I did think, at times, she was a little slow on the uptake. However, I loved her bravery and compassion. Ai was a little annoyed with her relationship with Dante, but I also remember that I, too, had a guy in my life that I thought hung the moon who ended up being a complete jerk, so I can’t be too mad she didn’t see it.
We better get more of Syb and Phoebe’s side characters in the next book. I also loved Lore and his interactions with Fallon. I wish he had been introduced sooner, but I can’t wait for the second book because I hope all of these characters will play a much more significant role.
I did think this book starts a little slow, The world-building was fantastic and essential, but I would have preferred the action to get started earlier. But I think book two will jump right into the action and also the romance!
