!!! so freaking good. it had such interesting things to say about so many things, including complicated legacies when it comes to authors and ofc women and the way misogyny and sexual abuse follows them. how they deal with it and how not being believed can break us down. "Men just say whatever they want and everyone believes them"
effy is such a great character, even when she thinks she is being weak, she is being so so strong. i do love how even though the things she sees are scary, her belief in them and herself is so strong, and the way she deals with it is so impressive.
preston my beloved. academic men can be so insufferable, but he was not and i loved it. him and effy were do sweet <3
i genuinely think my only complaint is the confrontation with the fairy king felt anticlimactic. it didnt need to be epic or anything, but i feel like the mirror thing wasnt explained super well, besides a few mentions through the book about no mirrors in the house. i liked this book to much to even knock of .25 points for this though
as always my reviews are just word vomit but i loveedddd this book sm. will immediately be reading the sequel

Sentí que leía el libro con la mitad del cerebro apagado porque no lograba conectar con la historia ni con los personajes, y aún así logré predecir el "misterio" desde el inicio. Pese a ello, me gustó el desenlace y cómo involucra a Effy, muy buen final.

There was definitely an atmosphere of some kind and a very trifling plot. Felt very heavy-handed with the themes by the end. Very unmotivated and pathetic protagonist.

If there’s one thing that Ava Reid knows how to write, it’s a gothic fantasy. Effy was a great main character for this story and the atmosphere was perfect. The way Reid uses descriptions to make the reader feel uneasy is genius.
The story had me second guessing myself the entire time, but enough of my theories were proven right to satisfy me at the end. I felt the romance was lacking a bit. Though it isn’t meant to be the focal point of the story, if you are going to include it, it should be fleshed out more.
I would please like the novel Angharad to be written and published now Ava please.
