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 😂

You can't tell me that Jack suddenly doesn't believe his wife's fairy bargain with the scrying glass. It was very out of character and pulled me out of the story.

It was a good book and I think it would make a great film!
