ARC review; I got this through NetGalley and I'm very grateful.
Adorable! Though the writing is not the kind of style I usually enjoy (very academic and kind of formal), the characters, the setting, and the faeries were so interesting that I couldn't put this down and I connected with it. Very atmospheric and lovely. I wish the plot was a bit better executed, but I was still into it.
Overall, I enjoyed this a lot and I loved stepping into this world. I recommend it to anyone who likes faeries, introverted yet brave and capable FMCs with a warm heart underneath, found family, and adventures.
2025 reread: I'm rereading the first two books before I get to my ARC of the third one and that was a great decision. I enjoyed it as much, maybe a little more than the first time. I just loooooove this world and how much fairy lore there is. I get lost in it and, also, I love these characters so much. Wendell is my favorite, but Emily is so dear to me in a different way. Overall, this is academic, cozy, feel-good, and just wonderful!
