An immersive fae fantasy romance drenched in beautiful lore and politics that keeps you engaged at every turn!

I could not put Faebound down, and this has absolutely become one of my top reads of the year already. El-Arifi really out did herself with this one. 

The lore, the disability representation, the romance, THE SISTER RELATIONSHIP! I cannot and will not stop gushing about how fantastic this book is.

The worldbuilding and political aspects of this book were really interesting, but I found the romance clunky. I don’t think this book should’ve been a fantasy romance. Also, the existence of leggings in this fantasy world really irked me.

Loved the magic system in this book. The animal companionship aspect of this book. The unique story and good world building. I will say Lettle got on my nerves a little bit. Acted very immature at times for her age in the book. Otherwise, really liked it!
