3.5 stars for the autumnal vibes, nature writing, and depiction of fae folk.
Unfortunately, this book suffers from insta-love and the "she's not like other girls" trope. Also the age gap is a tad creepy, but at least the male love interest isn't as creepy as a certain sparkly vampire. And the MC has an actual personality.

Good and easy read. I love the characters, stories about Fae are always so strange but I do find them amusing. I would recommend this if you want to read a book which has tense moments but isn't overwhelming.

While I don't normally like romance, I really liked An Enchantment of Ravens! The romance between Isobel and Rook was super sweet, if a little quick. They had great chemistry. I really liked the way the fair folk and their magic was written. This book has good pacing, but a little more about Aster and Hemlock would have been nice. All in all, a nice, cute romance.

This book made me realize that fae love interests are literally the new vampires. I am ready to die on this hill.
I also strongly believe that books should not all be rated on the same scale but according to what the are trying to be. I'm pretty sure this book was trying to be an emotional and whimsical fantasy romance so... I think it succeeded! I love an easy fantasy romance *standalone* where I don't have to get invested in a series of 3+ books. The world was interesting, the relationship was spicy (very questionable imo, but spicy), and the ending was satisfying while still leaving things to the imagination. Definitely will pick up the newer Margaret Rogerson.

๐ญ My thoughts ๐ญ: This book was fun. I enjoyed the read even though I'm not the target YA audience. Sure, it had many of the characteristics of YA fantasy that made me roll my eyes as a teenager, but it also had a lot of interest and charm that kept me reading even so. I really wished there was more about Isobel's family and her goat siblings.
๐ The gist ๐: Portrait artist Isobel lives in a dangerous world where the Fae regularly visit her human village because they crave human crafts in exchange for perilous enchantments. Isobel succeeds in laying low for a long time, until her unique artistic abilities capture the attention of the Fae court.
๐Representation๐: N/A
๐ For readers looking for ๐: magic, scary but enchanting fae, interesting human-fae relationships, cunning female characters, curses, political intrigue (but make it fae)
