This book was heavily influenced from Celtic mythology - I really love having the opportunity to learn about different cultures. Unfortunately in this book I found a lot of the terms very difficult to wrap my head around. There were so many new words (and pronunciations) in such short spaces of time that, even with a glossary I struggled to remember everything. A slower, more integrated approach to introducing readers to these terms could have aided my understanding significantly.
The love triangle with Rogan was a bit tedious, but luckily the romance with Irian more than made up for that. I found myself really waiting for those scenes and I loved how that part of the story played out.
Ultimately I found the writing to be rich and the story carried a lot of depth. I enjoyed it, but the elements I mentioned previously took away from the experience.
Thank you so much to Little, Brown Book Group for the arc via NetGalley. I really appreciate. being given the opportunity to give my honest feedback on this book.

March (2024) FairyLoot Adult pick - 3.5 ⭐️ Kind of slow but the beautiful writing style helped make up for that. At least until the last few chapters where the plot seemed to disappeared… There was a lot of back and forth regarding characters’ intentions which was intriguing. Were they good, trustworthy or deceitful! Overall an enjoyable read.
I do generally enjoy retellings and I’m not super familiar with the Black Swan story. This had been an anticipated read for me since I received it a year ago

I enjoyed this. (Also- I have the fairyloot edition and I think the endpapers are beautiful.) The dedication of this book made me smile.
“For anyone who has ever doubted if they were the main character in their own story. You are.”
I was a little confused at what happened at the very *very* end, but I think I understand it. Hopefully the beginning of the next book will clear it up for me. I am eager to see what happened after all the chaos. I found myself reading fast and willing the characters to *Hurry up!!!!*
The FL edition also included a sneak peek of book two and I was happy to see who the POV was ;)
Definitely think it is worth a shot! and I will probably read the next one when/if FL announces their edition.
