Alice Winters is a favorite author of mine. Her ability to write stories and characters that inspire outrageous emotions, high and low humor along with subtle layering of poignancy and pain never fails to entertain and engage me.

So my expectations for her novel, Prince of Poison, in the Fortune Favors the Fae series was high. What a wonderful story! I still find myself cackling at scenes involving Dandelion and Madden or Callisto’s few attempts at romantic gestures. Absolutely gems of hilarity.

There’s just so much to this tale of fantasy romance and epic adventures. Winters has created some great characters, given all of them intriguing histories or origin stories, layered in various plots from those of mystery to romance to high suspense that fascinate and engage right to the ultimate battles and magical fights towards the end.

I love this. And really can’t go into the details about the characters and their relationships without divulging any spoilers. To give away major revelations would be a shame. But I’ll say that Dandelion is an absolute masterpiece and I need more.

I love the growth in the relationships between the characters and that it occurs naturally as trust and respect become real between them. And not only them.

Winters manages to use humor as a tool to slide in moments and subtle references to the true darknesses the characters have or have had to endure. It’s done beautifully and with great emotion. And it always makes us connect with the characters and their stories with genuine heart and feelings.

If I had a few issues here, it was with a disappearing character, a wisp called Titus, who I felt wasn’t well developed or terribly needed. He feels more like a distraction than anything else. At the end of the novel, Titus isn’t mentioned at all.

However, if you are like me and look into bonus content by authors, this story has an additional thirteen bonus pages that include Titus, and expand on what happened next between Madden and Dandelion. This is from Madden’s perspective, which makes sense that it wasn’t intended for the novel. But it does give Titus a bit more personality and lets us know where Titus was at the end of the book. See the author’s note for this content.

Prince of Poison (Fortune Favors the Fae Book 7) by Alice Winters is an absolute must read. I love it and the series. Highly recommend!

4.0 out of 5 stars Alice Winters at her best

This is Alice Winters at her best: an interesting but easy-to-follow plot, delightfully weird characters, and - ofc - banter that literally makes me lol.

"And did you see what I did to his hair?" "It looks awful." "I'm too embarrassed to sleep." Literally laughed out loud.

Anyway, I loved this book in this series. It has actual fae, cool magic, the coin plays a very large part in the plot, and it's just overall one of the best in the series, up there with Michelle Notaro and Tavia Lark. (I cannot wait for Michelle Frost and Eliot Grayson's.)

I've been reading the Fortune Favors the Fae series and am new to Alice Winters. I think it's safe to say I will probably be reading her entire catalogue if this book is any indication. It read more like a hilarious movie! The banter, the snark, the camaraderie... I don't think I've ever highlighted so much in a book before. I laughed out loud, for real. Read this book!

As usual, Alice Winters has created a wonderful story full of action, adventure, magic and love. Her characters are always full of flaws that they overcome in time. I’m a huge fan of her work and this book is just as exacting as her other works. I definitely Recommend this story!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gah! What a ride!

Alice Winters release days are my most favorite days ever. I get to immerse myself in whatever crazy world she has invented and laugh myself silly at the ridiculous shenanigans of her fabulously flawed characters. The editing is always top notch as well. I’m not going to give away any of the story, but I will highly recommend that you pick this up and read it posthaste. Now, I should really go change as I’m still in my pajamas and it’s almost noon; although, maybe I’ll just put on a different pair and reread the Fanged Mistakes series and call it good. ????

I love Alice Winters books so when I saw this I skipped a few of the coin books to read it. Luckily there’s no real order to them. The book was funny and sweet. Slightly sad but mostly ridiculous in the best way.

Not everything can be solved with Love. Money is better. So so much better. You can buy bread, yes? So much bread you’ll never be hungry again. Or ever have to steal to get bread. Bread is everything. You can hide it in your shirt. You can’t eat Trust or Love. They don’t fill your belly. But what if Trust and Love is better than money?

I loved Silas and Callisto. They both have a rough backstory but stayed little cinnamon rolls. I adore Dandelion. I won't give spoilers, but he's my favorite. I liked the plot and everything felt all tied up in this one book, even though I loved the characters and would be happy to see more of them.
