adventurous dark emotional tense

This was a re-read for me so that I can read the next in the series. I did enjoy it but I feel like the pacing is really off - the final third of the book is really where it gets going.

adventurous emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

This started slow, but luckily a friend advised that this first book reads a lot like a prequel with the world building etc. The last 25-30% of this book pushed this from a 3.5 to a 4 star for me. Excited to continue this series!

The strongest point of this book is the imagery of the Spring Court, which informs the tone of the main part of the story. This makes it an enjoyable read even as the characters find their feet and

gradually stop being awful to each other

Unfortunately the Under the Mountain portion of the book ends up being a bit oppressively grim in contrast.

The plot draws a lot on classic stories, but not necessarily the most overdone ones, letting it still feel fresh and somewhat unpredictable. It’s definitely a good read, but doesn’t necessarily draw me in for more.
