This one started our pretty well, with an interesting heroine going on a grand adventure to save her community. Very quickly she kind of forgot that she has to find the cure, and instead spent most of the book romancing the king of the mysterious island. There was no character development to her - she started out as she began, beautiful and perfect, only a little more annoying. It irked me how she attempted to save the faeries that tried to kill her lover just minutes before?!? Like girl, get a grip. I loved the cozy vibes and descriptions, but could do with a little bit more. The characters beside the main two could also be a little more fleshed out, given some flaws etc. In the end, we don't get a resolution, the plague is not cured bc deals with the Fae apparently mean nothing in this universe despite a great deal being made of them.
