A lukewarm repetitive adventure. Honestly I would have probably liked it more, had I not been hoping for a romance.

The themes really resonated with me, probably because they’re pretty prevalent in my life at the time of reading. The eerie and unsettling vibes were great! Also loved the lore. It’s a 3,5/3,75 for me, but maybe if I’d ready it in a different time I’d probably rate this book differently (don’t know if it’d be higher or lower though). Would recommend to anyone who’s interested in the themes, and who are okay with the slower pace, which for me worked in this case.
Also as Ronja (an other review here) already mentioned, with which I wholeheartedly agree: it could’ve been gayer.
And I kind of wished it was.

This book was a delightful surprise! Dark, emotional, and full of fae tricks. The main character and the villagers were all well developed and seemed like real people instead of troupes. I adored the inclusion of several types of fae from Irish mythology that I had never heard of before. Be warned, if you’re looking for sexy fae romance à la Sarah J. Maas, this might not be the book for you. This story is much more about the personal development of the characters than it is about romance. I would go as far as to say it is a coming of age story that has romantic bits in it, but not a true romance if that’s what you want.

Took quite a while to get into, but I did enjoy the story.
