3.5
More of a fairytale/Alice in wonderland vibe than I was expecting. Also more of a middle grade vibe than I was expecting. But I’m certainly hooked enough to continue with the series! Ash is a clasiccccc I’ll eat that up every time. But overall pretty predictable/derivative tbh.

booksthatburn's review
I think if I’d found this when I was younger I’d like it more. Something about the balance of how much it portrays the darker side of Faerie (or not) just isn’t working for me. Also she’s pretty quickly interested in Ash when they’ve barely met, and I don’t like insta-love (or very quick attraction) as a trope.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

It was a simple story it gave off the vibes of a book that you would read for a novel study. Not the greatest but not the worst.
