Written with such a lovely and strong style. The book was magical and fun and based in a world I want to explore much more of.

Something is wrong with the trolls in the world, and the main character Ves is willing to do whatever it takes to solve the mystery. She's strong-willed, convicted, intelligent, and doesn't shy away from the challenge even when she appears to meet a dead end. Ves does appreciate the physical attraction of her partner, Jay, who has more skills than she initially expects when they start working together. Together with a representative from the troll court, they're looking for the key to unlock this mystery and to stop the wane of magic.

All in all, this book is a very quick, light, adult modern fantasy read. The characters are relateable with their quirks. This was a perfect read for a long drive, as it was easy to follow without requiring a lot of brain power to focus on what's being read.

There was one fairly gross part near the climax of the book

where the worms are described in detail

and i don't exactly know how to indicate that in the content warnings.

Decent fantasy book, I like the world building but I am not a fan of the main character.
