Back of Book: 

Violet Springwater is one of those infuriating people who has it all. She's got the looks, the brain, and her family is as close to fae nobility as one can be. They certainly have the riches, the feuds, and the patented superiority complex that comes with the territory.

Violet's biggest rival and main source of grief? Rowan Uphill. Just as beautiful, just as clever, and a little bit richer.

When they venture out into the human realm to amass riches of their own, a bad joke from the universe means Violet must travel with Rowan. Between failed campfires, the cat they both insist is theirs, and the incident, tension runs high.

Will their family's rivalry get the better of them or will the forced proximity spark something that neither are prepared for?

Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

A cozy fantasy travel novelette featuring two young fae from rival families that set off into the world to find their own adventure. 

Violet Springwater is ready to set off and forge her own path. With the Springtime ceremony about to commence, all of the of age fae finally get to venture to the human realm to try to strike big and acquire the wealth that it takes to be a successful fae. And Violet will finally be able to get away from the pesky Uphills that disrupt her family twenty-four-seven. That is, until an accident occurs that leaves her stuck with Rowan Uphill, her greatest rival. But as the two spend more time with one another away from the influence of their families, they realize that they may actually have a ton in common. 

This is a short novelette that can certainly be read in a single sitting (though I must admit, I read it aloud to myself in two sittings, so consider me odd). It's a sweet story of learning to put asides one's differences, let go of family prejudices, and embrace the world and everything that it has to offer. 

Violet and Rowan have some pretty awesome banter. Their families are like Montague and Capulet bad when it comes to constantly badgering and pestering one another, so it's no surprise that a forbidden romance forms between these two girls as soon as they are out of their parent's hair. I think they have a sweet growth arc in this short story in which they both realize a lot about themselves and each other. The romance may have heated up pretty quickly, but these two have known each other in one way or another forever now, so it didn't bother me too much. 

The world that Jade sets up had me interested from the get-go. I tend to always enjoy things set in the Fae realm, so it was no surprise that I enjoyed the initial set up in this book. The magic system isn't overly explained in this short introduction to the series, but it is made well known that the fae have access to all sorts of magic items that can do a wide variety of things. I'm interested to learn more about the magic of this world in future installments of this series. 

Overall, "The Rebellious Fae's Guide to Family Rivalries" was a great intro into the "Cozy Fae Guides" series that has me greatly intrigued to learn more. Violet and Rowan were pretty fun protagonists. I am interested in the magic system and the world, so I'm excited to check out what the rest of this series has in store!

Back of Book: 

In a world of magical crystals, enchanted artefacts, and golden coins, Daxia has... just coins. Copper coins.

Half Fae, half human, Daxia has never fit in with her peers in the Great Green Forest. To make matters worse, she has to work for a living, a fate unbefitting for a Fae. Luckily, she has a chance to venture into the human world to make a fortune of her own.

Today, it's scrubbing tavern floors. Tomorrow, it's finding chests with gold and jewels. At least, that's how she hopes it will go. In reality, a few more challenges stand between her and single-handedly creating her own generational wealth.

Relegated to odd jobs and thrifting what she can, she finds herself picking up a quest for an enchanted repair shop where a gold-obsessed gerbil manages their finances. It's not exactly glamorous but with the help of her clumsy ex-girlfriend and an abandoned dragon, Daxia is determined to make her own fortune.

Even if she has to stick to a tight budget to make it happen.
