Everything about this world is fascinating- the divide in magic systems almost drew my attention more than the romance. I also love how diverse this world is- this is my first time seeing dozens of they/them characters in the same story! I was attached to everyone we were introduced to, and really felt Saffron's complex fears when it came to protecting his community. This story does a great job navigating really complex societal issues surrounding oppression and pseudo-racism, and how things can be addressed in certain ways but can't always be magically solved all in one go. Absolutely would recommend, and will definitely be reading again!

I have complicated feelings about this one as the characters make and also break the book. The devotion of our main character towards the prince was pretty annoying and stupid in the first half of the book, then the prince does a 180 in personality and he's more likeable so it makes sense that y'know, they can have an actual relationship. After that it's pretty cool.
The writing of this book was bit hard to get through as it felt like I'm reading someone's dream state, and the paragraphing was....not great at all.

Haven’t wrote an actual review in ages but this book I have too. I haven’t fixated and read a book in awhile but this one got me. It had all my emotions in a tangled mess but a beautiful one. I will be impatiently waiting in September for book two. Honestly if you’re down to be wailing from happiness or sadness, tears staining and snot dribble definitely pick it up. Also just if you like gay angst and faerie lore it’s a must.
