louhitar 's review for:

Faebound by Saara El-Arifi
3.5
adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was an enjoyable read. Although I struggled with the first half I ended up being immersed and and flying through the second half. I grew to enjoy our characters and the world building.

This book had a take on fae that I ended up enjoying in contrast to a lot of books (and especially other "romantasy" books) that include them, and I really enjoyed the fact that the world included non-binary genders and was queer normative.

I wasn't greatly engaged with the plot until the end, however, and nearly dropped this book in the first half. Though I am glad I pulled through in the end.
