I think they fell in love a bit too quick and the book was fast paced not that i mind, just something to point out, and i would have loved the scene where Erix found Robin after he had the vision talking to his mother. But anyway a really good book

I liked it but it wasn't so gripping that It kept me on the edge and I wanted to keep reading (with the exception of the last couple of chapters)

I love the concept, it's just needs further editing. The writing style starts in one place and jumps around in tone and sometimes it feels like they're trying to sound very Tolkein and literally a sentence later using modern slang and grammar. I still support this author, I think every book he writes is better and better, but the tone and story focus changes can be hard to read.

I really liked this one. With so many queer stories the fact they are queer runs the story but this was a good storey about humans and fae with characters who happen to be gay. Really liked it.
