fast-paced

4.25

My friend bullied me into buying this, and I have zero regrets.

I found the writing style a bit hard to get into, but once I was in, I was IN. 

Rook is a wonderful book boyfriend, and Isobel is just the best.

That’s all I got right now. Probably gonna update with a real review later.

The amount of times I was giggling and blushing throughout this book is actually insane. I thoroughly enjoyed An Enchantment of Ravens and had so much fun reading it. I definitely agree with my favorite booktuber, Caricanread, who says that this book is written like a fairytale. Truer words have never been spoken. The main part I enjoyed about this book was the romance. It was extremely fast-paced yet very believable and well done, which is a hard combination to achieve. Rook is the love of my life and Isobel made a wonderfully clever protagonist (and their chemistry is amazing as I said earlier)! All in all a wonderful book that I very much recommend!

The adult/minor relationship is between a 17 year old human and an immortal fae, though there's no real maturity difference between them. The death of parents happens off page, mentioned a few times.

Charming and whimsical. Avoids falling into cliches or feeling overly YA-ish. Love the mix of cuteness (ie the goat twins) with the truly bizarre and creepy nature of the faeries. Feels lush and lyrical. One complaint I have is it’s weird that the main character is 17 when Rook feels like a grown adult especially because she feels more like a 20 year old in terms of maturity and I think in some ways if she were 19 or 20 it would actually fit the story slightly better? Any way maybe it seems pedantic but it does always feel a little weird to me when fantasy books pair 16-17year olds with 500 year olds (even tho I know the whole thing is that fairies mature at a different pace).
