The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill by Rowenna Miller

blewballoon's review

As a positive, I like that this isn't a love story. I appreciate reading stories that focus on other types of relationships. That being said, I don't like either of the main characters, but especially the older sister. I can't sympathize with someone who manipulates and lies to her family. Not a fan of the animal death either. I can see where this is going and I don't care about these characters enough to read it. I'm not sure if the book will have the overall message that you should put in your own work and not rely on fairy bargains for everything, but that's definitely what I wish I could tell the characters at this point in the story. I'm frustrated and not having a good time, so it's time to move on.

his book was pretty good all in all! Fairly slow start but about half way through I really started to enjoy my time with this book. I love the themes of magical realism and old familial tradition mixed with the expansion of the world around them. 



Spoiler:
Also, damn, I would have been so weak for the huntress with the horns. That first deal would have been it for me 😂
