This was a very well written fairy tale/fantasy novel. It reminded me of Jane Yolen's early novels, which I ate up as a teenager. This one had beautiful turns of phrases within a story that was fully fleshed with characters I liked or believed. I never knew where the story was going (the best feeling, to be brought along for the journey, as opposed to knowing the path) and I read it fervently.
I think this book won some awards, and they are well deserved. It is one of the best "pure" fantasy novels I've read in a long while.

A new fave
I’m not immune to a man begrudgingly falling for a mess of a woman
Then also make her a witch??
Made for me
My one major gripe is it does suck that the only black character was given slave backstory. Literally any other backstory.

The first half of this book is mostly just kind of flat. The second half goes downhill from there.
