Scarlett and the other Fair learning swearwords and other slang from River add a comic element that's a nice touch. While triangles are often a YA trope (not that there's anything wrong with that), I liked that this one doesn't go on that long. River is the linchpin, confused by her new surroundings and frustrated with her mother while Wolf covers his hurt with a belligerent shell and Cat does his best between the two of them. The three main characters, River, Wolf, and Cat, are a good mix.
And not just the other species, but their customs and way of life. As River relearns her past, the reader is also introduced to her fascinating environs. The world building is excellent and definitely adds to the story. The author has been very clever in how she integrates the world of the Fair with the Outer World, placing it in Muir Wood in California. Frustrated, River turns to Cat, her Royal (a type of bodyguard) for friendship and comfort.
Luca is now a warrior named Wolf, and he didn't take her leaving him well. Her mother whisks her away to a new world and removes the suppression of her memories: River finds out she's a Fair and has power, she's a princess (not that she cares much), and oh, she's also bonded to Luca, a boy from her childhood. She's not fond of Skye's new boyfriend, but it's when she finally meets him that her life turns upside-down.
