Re-reading this as I remembered it fondly from my teens. Definitely hits the nostalgia itch but doesn’t tick any other boxes for me. 

I find it difficult to understand the appeal of having a 16 year old girl fall in love with ancient fey. Age gaps relationships are definitely common in fantasy romance novels but I always find that part unsettling.
