There were a lot of characters, returning and introduced, that I just couldn't bring myself to care about. But other than him and Jin, who I sort of sorry for because of their circumstances and the fact Wyatt was being an ass to them for the majority of the book, the rest of the characters kinda blended together. Perhaps a bit more so because he came to realize he was demisexual in this book (We stan good ace rep here). I don't have much to say about Emyr other than I still like him. It was about time that Wyatt finally got to see her as a whole person rather than his personal emotional support blanket. Briar is so much more fleshed out, because we finally get to see her flaws, her tendency to take on all of her friends'/loved ones' emotional weight so she didn't have to deal with her own. That perception is effectively shattered here, though. Because Wyatt's POV heavily dictates the story, we saw her nothing but the perfect, maniac-pixie-dream-girl best friend Wyatt held on a pedestal.
Speaking of Briar, she's so much better here. It was just so much less painful for me to read this time around. One of my favorite scenes is when him and Briar finally talk about how their co-dependent relationship had been very toxic and that they both needed to define themselves outside of it.
It's because of this that he finally try to be a better person. Granted, his inner voice is still very grating and he's very much still an asshole throughout the story, but not only does he acknowledge his past bad behavior/actions, he also gets called out on his shit by others constantly. It certainly surprised me, considering the fact I found The Witch King to be one of my worst reads of last year.įirstly, Wyatt actually has character development. Not a massive improvement, because there were things that I didn't like, but the fact there was any is something I must acknowledge.
I don't know if it was my rock bottom expectations or something else, but The Fae Keeper is definitely an improvement from its predecessor.
