I took my time with this slowly, not sure if it's the genre or the pacing that isn't really my comfort zone to read. The reveal was slow, perhaps because it is a cozy fantasy? But I sorta hoping for a more... peek into the faeries world instead of her ventures bridging between the chaos they (faeries) made on human realm. Hmm, perhaps on next book? I feel like the main plot only kicks around 60-70% way into the book, which is rather too slow or late for my personal preference, so there's that. But if you're looking for a book that gives green academia vibes, a character who's socially awkward and prefer the company of non-humans, I'm sure there's a specific type of reader perfect for this book! Perhaps just not my alley. The love line is cute, though. Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for allowing me to read the eARC for the title, I enjoyed it well!
