It's one of those books that's so hyped up and I've seen absolutely everywhere - I just neeeeeded to know what all the fuss was about!! On the whole, I enjoyed the book (definitely helped to be buddy reading it!).
There were a few negatives: a lot of 'convenient moments' throughout (did our FMC achieve anything much on her own?!) where people appeared at just the right moment every time to help, and a fair amount of repetition of certain words, phrases and info. I also got a bit confused by all the different types of fae, especially the ones that appeared once and not really again.
As far as the villain goes, she didn't seem very well 'fleshed out;' I couldn't really grasp what she was trying to achieve or why and she came across as more petty and jealous than powerful and calculated to me.
However, the story was fun & the characters were generally pretty interesting. A fair amount of twists and turns that kept me waiting to see what would happen and a setting/world I could imagine quite easily (which is always good). It was fun and I had fun reading it!
Will I be continuing the series - probably!
** Worth noting that I went straight into this book from A Day of Fallen Night, which had very intricate world and character building - which is possibly why this felt a little clumsy at times as I unfortunately did draw a few comparisons.
