Torn by Jennifer L. ArmentroutMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Torn picks up where Wicked leaves off. Ivy has just discovered a very big secret about herself. She struggles with what she learns for the entire book and how that will shape her moving forward. Her secret hasn't changed who she is, but it has to the potential to change how Ren feels about her, and possibly puts everyone she knows in danger.
We learn that not all of the fae may be evil, and that sends Ivy on a mission to find more about fae that might be able to help her defeat the prince and his evil entourage. Prince Drake shows us how ancients end up tricking humans into willingly sleeping with fae with his creepy trickery. He continues his evil ways by kidnapping Ren and luring Ivy to him. Ivy makes a deal to save Ren and promises to give into Drake and have the "apocalypse baby". We see Drake try to break Ivy, and Ivy almost give into the weakness she sees inside herself. Torn is the perfect title for this book as that is exactly what Ivy is through most of the book. She was a bit naïve in Wicked, but she finds herself torn between what she thought she knew, who she thought she was, and who she needs to become based on what she learns and what she goes through. It is this weakness that will make her stronger, and I look forward to seeing her put the pieces of herself back together in book 3.
I loved that we got more Tink, and I hope we get more Tink in Brave. I really enjoyed getting to know more about Brownies and fae in general. We get more of his hilarious antics and banter. I also love his loyalty to Ivy. I’m looking forward to hearing more about the “good” faeries and see where the kind of revolution that Ivy and company find themselves a part of at the end of Torn is headed.
