Abrupt and weak ending. Weird non consent nonsense.

*Possibly* my least favourite RoL so far. I enjoyed it, don't get me wrong, but I was left a bit frustrated by how much cool stuff was introduced and then kind of discarded along the way. Anyway what I'm saying is I needed more Old Folly stories

A little bit disappointed in this outing. The story about a fairy kidnapping of two girls felt sort of roundabout and unfocused in the telling and the story just sort of ended without any kind of denouement. The prior book ended similarly but since that was more of sudden betrayal/cliff-hanger end I gave it a wave.
