To Kill a Fae: A slow-burn epic fantasy romance

thrilling fantasy. very well-written. as with most fantasies, To Kill a Fae is an installment in a complex series as well as point in both a personal and a world wide drama. Overall, Sabin is part of fate's (the old gods'?) plan to clean up the mess left after the gods' war millennia ago. World-wide she is destined to reunite the Seelie and Unseelie Fae and apparently has a part in resealing the portal shutting out the gods and their strife at behest of a dragon who looks set to be her soulmate. On a personal note she seeks safety from her family whom she is not yet strong enough to challenge. Busy savior, that. All primary and secondary characters are strong individuals with distinct, needed skills and insights whose moves are clearly plotted. The writing is clean and literate, a joy to read. I look forward to seeing the plot come to fruition. I hope you join me.

This is the first book of the Dragon Portal series. This story combines magic, loyalty, politics, and fights against evil. Unlikely characters with varied motivations work together in an attempt to defeat the corruption and threats against the group of friends.

In this, the start of a new series, we're introduced to Sabine. She is a Fae living amongst humans, in a bid to hide herself from her enemies. Unfortunately, no one can stay hidden forever. We meet a range of characters - demons, goblins and pixies, and others - all who have an invested interest in Sabine's welfare. There is a lot happening in the book, but I feel there is still so much more to discover about these characters, the Fae world, and Sabine, in particular. This story hooked me from the first chapter, and kept me interested (and intrigued!) throughout. I look forward to reading the next in the series. I would love to see what happens from here.
