Bunny's Reviews: A Fae is Done Review Spotlight

Welcome back to the Veil friends, and congratulations to Danielle M. Orsino on the release of A Fae is Done! Read on for details!

Welcome back to the Birth of the Fae series! Book five is here and this cover is absolutely gorgeous! Brace yourself for more drama and this book follows the aftermath of the tragic death of Queen Aurora. If you need a little refresher the author has got you covered. Our observer makes sure to fill us in on the happenings and remind us of exactly what went down and who is behind it all. Now, where will things go from here?

A Fae is Done starts out with a prologue that gets you up to speed and then drops you into utter chaos. Queen Aurora is no more. Her death, still fresh. Now? Chaos reigns. The Bishops, having their own agenda, have accomplished one part of their plan. The Fae are upset by the division that now rages between them. King Jarvok is broken hearted behind what he believes is a betrayal by the woman he loved. Will things ever be the same again? Probably not, but that's the point. Yes?

This book pulls you in just like the previous ones in this series. But if you are expecting a resolution with this addition? LOL! Don't get too hopeful. But if you're hoping for more to come - then you will be thrilled to know that this author fully intends to continue this series.

This story shifts between the characters and introduces some new ones. You will see that Sekhmet has little intention of being the type of queen that Aurora was. It's unfortunate, but understandable. Where would the fun be in that, right? LOL! It'd be probably be pretty bland, and we wouldn't be as engaged in the intrigue, right?

The drama is really played up in this book as secrets come to light. If you remember from the previous book that Aurora took certain steps concerning Jarvok. But he's not the only problem, there are just some things that you can't forsee and his companions are one of those problems. They mean well, but they bring their own form of chaos and confusion to the party. Of course, it just makes this book even more of a page-turner as secrets come to light and things get complicated.

When you get to the end of this book, true to form this author is going to leave you eager for the next book. What is going to happen next? How are the fae who loved and revered Aurora going to make it through the chaos and danger that swirls all around them? Will they be able to, or will more be lost to their final oblivion? Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I applaud the author for being able to keep this series fresh and engaging. 5 out of 5 stars hands down.

Thank you to the author, Danielle M. Orsino, and R&R Book Tours for the opportunity to read and review this book. I look forward to what comes next!

A Fae is Done (Birth of the Fae #5)

Publication Date: March 30th, 2023

Genre: Epic Fantasy/ Fae

Prophecies, broken hearts, secrets, and scars. Bodies delivered on the wings of butterflies.

After Queen Aurora’s execution, the Court of Light falls into political unrest. The riots continue as new Queen Sekhmet takes her place on the throne and puts her long-planned agenda into action. Meanwhile, King Jarvok attempts to remedy his heartache but ends up divulging suspicions he has held close for centuries instead.

Alliances shift as dark mysteries bubble to the surface, but a prophecy reading brings a ray of hope. Unfortunately for others, it foretells certain doom. The Oracles speak of a future child who will unite the Fae courts and bring karmic retribution. Unlikely heroes will be forced together by fate, while unexpected enemies are revealed.

There are Fae in both courts who have plenty to hide. Some would kill to keep their secrets. Some are willing to die for them.

About the Author

Danielle M. Orsino is a fantasy novelist whose lifelong vision to create whimsical realms that her readers can escape to. Her compelling word-weaving pays homage to a multitude of personal muses, from Chris Claremont and George Pérez (both famous comic book writers), to Anne Rice and Wonder Woman.

The creative spark of storytelling has been with Danielle ever since she was a child, but martial arts and her nursing career took center stage into adulthood. Then, on a day like any other, it was reignited during the most unexpected of moments: while treating one of her patients. Seeing that they longed for a distraction during their arduous treatments, the floodgates of inspiration soon burst forth. So, Danielle took it upon herself to tell them a story; a fantastical narrative that would leave the confines of that IV room’s walls and land upon a page. Before she knew it, what started as an imaginative tale to pass the time, turned into book, followed by an entire series: The Birth of Fae. This awe-inspiring series includes Locked out of Heaven (Book One), Thine Eyes of Mercy (Book Two), and From The Ashes (Book Three), all of which are published by 4 Horsemen Publications, Inc. And with an unwavering passion for cosplay and comics, it was a unanimous decision to place her on the cover of each book in all her Fae cosplay glory. The Birth of Fae also features Los, an affable chameleon dragon inspired by her fun-loving Yorkie named Carlos.

When writing wasn’t at the forefront of her mind, Danielle was a successful Martial Artist. Some of her achievements include “1999 World Martial Arts Hall of Fame Inductee”, “Female Martial Artist of the Year”, “WKA World Champion Silver Medalist 2008”, and numerous more. She has also garnered hundreds of martial art tournament wins, various other national and world titles, and features on big-name channels like TLC and CBS. She even had the rare opportunity to perform for former U.S. President Bill Clinton and collaborate alongside Vincent Lyn and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. From there, she pursued her Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science, and she is now a Licensed Practical Nurse who focuses on Lyme disease research.

This “New Queen of the Fae’s” unmatched world-building and masterful Fae-origin retellings have led to an ever-growing queendom of “Fae-natics”. To begin embarking upon a quest in an epic world unlike any other, visit Danielle M. Orsino’s official website at http://www.BirthOfTheFae.com.
