Thankyou to Netgalley and Little, Brown Book Group UK, Orbit for a free e-arc in exchange of an honest review.

I loved this whole heartedly. It was everything i wanted it to be and more. Going in a didn't have many expectations, i hadn't heard much about it but it intrigued me non the less.

Things i loved:
-Swan lake retelling
-Fae world in the traditional way
-Everyone is a villain
-Love triangle/square
-Sentient dwellings
-Heartbreaking growth of our FMC
-Lyrical metaphorical writing
-Vividly descriptive
-Magical
-Betrayal

I honestly cannot wait for the next instalment of this!
One of the easiest 5 stars for me.

This was fine. It was easy to tune out which isn’t ideal. I really liked that it was about a changeling and this edition is stunning. But something was missing. I didn’t care for the love story, it lacked depth and I felt like he was using  her the whole time. So I just never really found my stride with this one. 

Will I stare at it longingly while I don’t remember a single thing about the story? Yep

Omg it’s Swan Lake but Irish!!! I love it. It’s sooooooo fucking slow paced tho. I had to bump to 2.25 speed to move thru it faster. Def curious for book 2.

I really enjoyed parts of this but also found other parts hard to follow. Beautiful writing.
