DNF at 35% This was literally just like an info dump of everything related to the fae and typical fantasy books we know and love. The setting of being in North America in a modern day setting was also very startling and not done well. An example of this same thing that was also startling was Crescent City but with it being set in a different world and the writing just made it easier to digest. I also was not a fan of the constant pop culture/media references that would be dropped unnecessarily, it took me out of the story and I like my fantasy books to be immersive. It was just not for me.
Moderate: Suicide, Grief, Drug use, Xenophobia, Violence, Sexism, Racism, Mental illness, Death, and Murder
