The way she experiences her emotions at the end of the book and the actions afterward are so incredible. My favourite Brie is definitely the one at the end of the book. Brie’s anger and rage envelop her in a darkness that seems to be vengeance itself. Her worry for her sister makes her impulsive, while her developing love makes her reckless. Her emotions also drive the story quite a bit. She’s someone who doesn’t trust easily, but when she does it’s with a ferocity that makes her blind to faults…and you can’t help but feel like it will land her into trouble. As she quickly finds out, life can be so much crueller than it can be kind. There’s no doubt about her strength, but she’s also a young woman who desperately needs something to go her way. Despite her limitations, she longs for the moment when she and her sister can be free from all of it. Unfortunately, she’s not able to get out of them all, like the debt she owes her aunt for taking her in along with her sister. She’s clever and fierce, and seems to know just enough magic to help her get out of some tricky situations. She’ll have to decide which path will lead to her success or ultimately spell her demise.īrie’s story begins with theft. She’s trapped between two courts, loyalties, and hearts. Brie will accept help from Finn and his group of unseelie misfits, at the risk of falling for his seductive charm. She soon finds herself falling for his charms, but she won’t let anything stop her from saving her sister.

In order to gain access to the seelie court, she presents herself as a potential bride for Prince Ronan. She’ll do whatever it takes to get her back, making a deal with the king in order to steal three magical relics from the seelie court.

However, their help is exactly what she needs when her sister is sold off to the sadistic king of the unseelie court to pay a debt. These Hollow Vows is centred around Brie, a young woman who hates the fae and would rather starve than accept their help. The ending was absolutely stunning and I highly encourage you to read it, if you’re looking for your next romantic fantasy read. It’s not a story that I was expecting at all, and I honestly cannot wait to find out what will happen next. It’s treacherous and lovely, and the more you find out about the faerie world Brie has spirited herself into, the more you’ll wonder what the ultimate end will be for her. This alluring fantasy is everything I was looking for and more. This book is a swirling vortex of evocative romance and tensions running so high it’s a wonder how I was able to keep still long enough to finish it. If you’re looking for a book that will leave you gutted and raw by the end, then look no further.
