The Fae & The Fallen by Brittni Chenelle
★★★★★
🌶️
Series: Gifted Fae Academy, Book 1
Review:
First, I would like to thank the author for sharing this audiobook for free on her YouTube channel. Thank you for making your books accessible! Readers can find the audiobook at the bottom of this page!
The Fae & The Fallen by Brittni Chenelle is the first book in the Gifted Fae Academy series. Reina knows she will develop a gift…eventually. The majority of the population is gifted with touch magic, and the most talented go to Gifted Fae Academy to learn how to become fae protectors. After losing her parents and her best friend's betrayal, her optimism drives her. She is graced with an incredible, unprecedented opportunity: she is welcomed to apply to Gifted Fae Academy despite not manifesting a gift yet. Her former best friend, Kaito, has already failed the entrance exam twice despite having powerful touch magic, but Reina helps him secure a third chance. Reina and Kaito grapple with confusing feelings for each other while also capturing the attention of popular students at the academy. Meanwhile, fae warriors are dying. Reina must discover her gift, juggle a love triangle, and face the fact that not everyone is who they present themselves to be.
I listened to the audiobook of The Fae & The Fallen, and while both Lessa Lamb and Matthew H. Longoria are talented, Lessa’s narration was undeniably perfect for the role of Reina. The sound production is flawless, and the warmth in Lessa’s narration helps the reader connect with Reina.
Brittni Chenelle’s writing stands out from other paranormal academy novels due to the immersive worldbuilding and rich emotional depth of the characters. Kaito in particular is deeply aware of his flaws. He wants to become fae and make his parents proud, but he is constantly struggling against his true nature. Reina’s optimism and ability to see the good in everyone starkly contrasts Kaito’s perception of the world. The book ends on a cliffhanger, and I am eager to pick up the next book in the series!
Audience: mature young adult, new adult Trigger warnings: violence Recommended for fans of: paranormal academy fantasy, paranormal romance, urban fantasy, enemies to lovers Publisher's Synopsis:
My first kiss nearly killed me—literally.
When 80% of the population is gifted with touch magic, it’s best to keep your hands—and your lips—to yourself. Especially if you’re an ungifted serf like I am.
The problem is, the most dangerous guy at Gifted Fae Academy is the one I want to touch more than anything, even as I draw the attention of the school’s most gorgeous Apprentice Fae.
When my entry exam leads to the revelation that I may not be as Ungifted as I previously believed… well… surviving until graduation might prove harder than I thought—particularly when a certain fatal touch may be worth the risk.
