The Reading Vixens: [Review] The Day Human King

After he assumed the power of the late sidhe king, Devin thought the battle to protect Nessa and proceed with her coronation was over. Everyone feared him and he had the power to do anything in the sidhe world. He was wrong. As problem after problem arises, Nessa finds the path to the throne is not as simple as they thought. Formalities must be adhered to, preparations must be made, and between all of that, Devin and Nessa must decide what to do with an obviously pregnant Fiona, who will not name the father of her child. To make matters worse, the elite sidhe are still assassinating each other. No one in the palace is safe. Who is behind the latest deaths, and can the coronation actual occur with all the drama going on? Devin and Nessa’s road to power might be cut short if they can’t find the answers.

I can’t even deal. I don’t even know where to begin. I could tell you again how much I adore BKM, but I feel I’ll be a little repetitive and oh how I hate repetition! However, once again – I’m in awe of this author’s talent. The passion and love that goes into each novel is clearly visible to the readers. I’ve probably said this before, but BKM is probably one of the authors that I’ve been so eagerly awaiting to meet. Let me tell you, if this author has an event (that I can attend, of course) I’ll be the first in line! I just want to hug you B. Kristin, along with the amazing team behind you!!

The Day Human King is the 2^nd installment in the Day Human series. For whatever reasons, I took forever to finally start to read the first novel, which I obviously devoured. By the time I got through the first book I was immediately able to delve into this novel, which made me extremely happy. Reading about the continuation of Devin’s story was just incredible. The Day Human series has to be one of THE best spinoff series I’ve ever read. Maybe I’m a little biased towards this since I absolutely loved the characters in The Blue Eyes trilogy.

When I first started to read this I had quite a few expectations. I know I should never go into a book with such high expectations, but BKM has never let me down as a reader before and still hasn’t. Every possible hope I had for this novel was superseded. Devin and Nessa’s story gives me hardcore feels. There were times in this novel that I felt SO much that I thought my heart would beat out of my chest. The anxiety I felt when the characters were put into situations that were life altering, the happiness I felt when things fell into place, and the sadness I felt when everything seemed to be falling apart.

I sincerely hope that you take the chance to read this series, because it’s incredibly worth it. I honestly can NOT wait until book 3 arrives so that I may know the fate of Devin and Nessa. The unexpected twist at the end of this book shocked me to my core, and left me asking so many questions that can’t be answered yet. I NEED the 3^rd book NOW!! I’m so excited to read The Day Human Way.

**The utter uniqueness of this story is brilliant. The attention to detail and the imagery is stunning. The author brings back moments from the trilogy to help you remember the reasons for which things are happening the way that they are now. I highly recommend this series, along with reading The Blue Eyes Trilogy first. And then, when you’re done with that you can intertwine yourself with Seth and Mari from Carnelian, Book 1 in the Chalcedony series.
