Actually quite good ?
A slow start in this one for sure but I liked the faerie lady Lune and Devon grew on me, though he remained a little bit characterless. I liked the research that clearly went into this. I went to a museum in Oxford this summer and actually saw a marble copy of John Dees chart for conversing with angels so that being a plot point was super cool. Also, it did faeries without being annoying about it- no growling at your love interest here folks lol- although could have done with a bit more detail.
The overall concept of court intrigue both fae and human happening simultaneously is good.
Added bonus- set in England but written by an American in a non annoying way (to me specifically) amazing.
