This was a phenomenal read and I loved every moment of it. It reminded me of A.K. Larkwood's The Unspoken Name even though Larkwood's book isn't strictly a romance because both it and Caught in the Basilisk's Gaze have similar plot styles: there are clusters of high action, and then the heroes move to (or are forced to) a different setting. They grow familiar with the new setting, and then things get complicated and exciting again without things becoming repetitive--the emotional arcs are perfectly calibrated to continue their forward momentum. 

I loved Danica and Vaduin and how they both had to work through their baggage before coming together. I was skeptical of the novel's length, but it was the exact number of pages needed for them to heal and then meet each other on the same level. I also loved how respectful they were of each other, and of the faith they each put in the other. 

Oh, right, and it's hot af, too.

My only critique is the unsteady worldbuilding at the beginning of the book--when Danica first mentioned she was from Los Angeles I nearly dropped my ereader on my face, and then spent the next couple hundred pages wondering if I would better understand how humans ended up in Faery if I'd read the earlier books in the series. (I still don't know, but I intend to read them all and find out.) I didn't let it bother me overmuch, because it's all explained in drips and drabs throughout the rest of the book. It's just the initial worldbuilding that tripped me up. 

Overall, I can't recommend this one enough.
