The very beginning & end of the book need a little polish but as her debut novel, I'm pretty ok with that. I enjoyed the modern fantasy setting, with unique magic mixed in with classic fairy tale stuff. What really compelled me though was the anti-trope romance. This book did not follow many of the plot beats that make most short romances write themselves, to my immense surprise and delight. Can't wait to see what she writes next!
