Faebound by Saara El-Arifi

5.0

I LOVED Faebound by Saara El-Arifi!! This is genuinely my new favourite book from now on. I was so hooked from the very start. I love high fantasy, I love elves and fairies, I love queer representation, I love enemies to lovers—and this book has all that and more.

I don’t feel like I can talk about the plot without spoiling the story, so just go read this book, I promise you won’t regret it.

The characters in Faebound are so loveable and real. I could feel their pain and joy. My favourite character has to be Furi, but I also love Pila so much. Yeeran and Lettle had such a believable sibling relationship—the way they always had each other’s backs even though they didn’t usually see eye to eye.

There was a lot of amazing queer, trans and disabled representation in this book which is always so good to see. Every character was unique and fully formed.

The romance in this book too was something else
