This book is really stunning. It deals with the themes of

trauma and sexual assault

in a very realistic and empowering way. The fmc is someone I deeply rooted for
throughout the story and the mythology elements were such an interesting twist. I feel like the fairy king in the story is a unique portrayal

of the potential for evil that hides itself within many people.

I really love this book and would highly recommend it, it may be my very own Angharad.
