This was such a delightful and enjoyable book.
The writing was so exquisitely beautiful and made the atmosphere of this book just a wonder to read. I loved the way Margaret Rogerson described fae and the fae world. I never once felt lost or confused and everything felt well thought out and clear. The humor in this book was witty and charming and at times truly unexpected. It felt natural and not forced even the slightest bit.
Isobel was a joy as a main character. I loved how passionate she was about her art and her painting. She is also very loyal and protective of her family and would do anything for them and give anything to make sure their safe. She was willing to do anything to keep and protect her Craft and the thought of her losing it was a fate worse then death to her. I loved how compassionate and intelligent she is, knowing how to talk to a Fair Folk and see past their glamour and honeyed words.
Rook was a very charming character. He was the perfect blend of cocky and vulnerable. No matter what he said or did he always care for Isobel and would go to great heights to protect her. He was also a very skilled fighter and was definitely no pushover when it came to a fight. I couldn’t help but fall in love with his character.
I feel like the beginning of the romance was a bit too fast and love at first sightish but both of the characters were so adorable and sweet that I couldn’t help but adore their relationship. The chemistry was definitely there and interactions between the two of them were so cute. I loved them traveling together in the forest and the challenges they faced.
The plot was very good but at times it did drag a bit especially toward the end. I also really loved the side characters and enjoyed them just as much as the main characters. I felt like they offered a lot more to the story and made the world so lively.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to more from this author and hopefully more stories set in this world.
