i teared up, I loved this more than they both die at the end, this was absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful. Adam has a way with words and making me care for these characters and i first was sceptical that it was this long but it deserved to be 550 pages because i spent so much time with the characters which made me love this one more. i also really loved how Adam made me not only care for val and orion but also for the characters who only got a few chapters. he interconnected the stories of so many people and i loved this

the spectacular ending to a wonderful 5 ⭐ series :) I loved this, though not as much as the ballad of never after. I feel very lucky to have had this series in my life and I hope I'll have the pleasure to read Stephanie Garber's stories for the rest of my lifetime! she's a wonderful storyteller and I couldn't have imagined this winter without her books ❤️ I cannot wait for the holiday novella coming out the 22nd of October!!!

this is crazyyy, I finally finished fairydale.... I've been reading this book since the fifth of may or something and I'm done... it's weird not having the story of Sela and Amon to get back to 😭 i loved this, i think I'll have to re-read it someday and get through it quicker because I do not remember everything that happened and I did love it so i want to give this story the time that it deserves and the attention it deserves
