4 out of 5 stars *****
This book is an episode of Fantasy Science Fiction Dystopia, a world in the throes of war. The characters are mundane or magical but their problems are curiously human. This is not a children's book but an explicit story where mixed breeds struggle to survive using sex and loyalties as tools for status.
This short narrative changes when the protagonist's relationships and popularity create a good life for her. She becomes renowned as a gifted poet inspired by her muse, another female fae. The greater her success, becoming the Poet Laureate of the kingdom, the greater her temptation to seduction that leads to an interlude with the princess of the realm.
The beginning of the end starts with this disloyalty and eventually leads to her escaping, alone, on a ship to avoid the superior army of men and their allies from a nearby kingdom. Her muse is left behind who has another love interest, a man this time, in her life. Obviously, there is more to follow.
