Book Review: Court of Tricksters by S.L. Prater

Title: Court of Tricksters
Series: Fae Tricksters #1
Author: S.L. Prater
Genre: Fae; Fantasy; Romance
Publication Date: January 20, 2023

The fae Duke of Night doesn't believe in love—but he'll claim his mate nonetheless.

Mating is a matter of politics for Night, not the heart. To prevent a forced union that will plunge the Lunar Court into war, he must find and bond his true mate.

When he lays eyes on Rain, he knows the shy forest witch is the bond mate he's been searching for. Unprepared for the intensity of his attraction, Night makes an offer that would keep his priorities straight and his court safe: a marriage of convenience. Any eligible woman—mortal and immortal alike—would leap at the chance to become the powerful duke's bride.

But Rain isn't interested.

She's lived outside of society too long to ever fit into Night's world of shapeshifting tricksters and back-stabbing politicians. And Rain demands more than the trappings of marriage. She wants a match with heart.

Night doesn't have the luxury of time to change his mate's mind. War looms closer and the Lunar Court is caught in the middle. Out of options, the fae duke sees only one choice.

Kidnap his bride.

Hello Fellow Reader,

So, I've come to the conclusion that I don't like Fae romances, it's just not for me. Every single one of these 'Court of' books just don't catch my fancy, but I had hoped because I liked Prater's other books this time it would be different. I will say there are some positives as I really liked Rain, she was brave and competent but still had this sense of innocence around her that really endeared me to her in the beginning however the more I read the more I kept throwing my hands up in the air.

I honestly don't know what to think about Night, I am not sure if I like him or dislike him. There were moments when I liked him but generally, I didn't really feel one way or another about him.

Overall, just not the genre for me but that doesn't mean that it's not for you.
