DID NOT FINISH: 40%

Wasn’t enjoying the plot enough to make up for disliking the characters

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.

Really enjoyed this. Picked this up one day and love it fiercely. There were times the character development felt too rushed but the story is beautiful and the world building is gorgeous

it is so rare to find a book with a main character who is not just disabled, but disabled and sexy, and strong, and smart. i love the diversity of the characters and the world in Faebound, how gender, sexuality, and disability all were natural facets of life (as they should be). such a beautiful book, with stunning world-building, rich lore, and intriguing, complex characters. cannot wait for the rest in the series!
