Tricked into treason by Naxi, her adversary and romantic fixation, Thysandra is also the reason the Crimson Court is in shambles.

The half demon minx is refusing to leave, claiming Thysandra is madly in love with her, and she’s on a bit of a murdering spree. Can Thysandra do better for her people and placate everyone? Will she discover who is undermining her before it’s too late?

I liked how this addressed the very real question of "What happens when an entire system of government collapses overnight?" What happens to food supplies when you relied on slave labor? What happens to the enslaved people when they are suddenly free, but have nowhere to go? Thys frankly wasn't very interesting to me, and I found her repetitive fixation of things from her past eye rolling at times. I get it, she has trauma, and that can be paralyzing, but it seemed to take her forever to realize that the Mother probably lied to her about some things. She was willfully blind over the horrible things the Mother did to people...humans, phoenixes, nymphs, and heck, even her own son. That was a tad unbelievable. I did love Naxi. I also enjoyed the personality of the Labyrinth, actually. This is the weakest of the five books, IMHO, but I still flew through it, and I'm sad to leave this world!

With Wing And Claw: A Sapphic Fae Fantasy Romance (Fae Isles Book 5) was my least favorite of The Fae Isles Series. I wanted the story of Creon and Em to continue. However, I would recommend the Series.
