I received the digital copy from winning a giveaway- thank you to the author and StoryGraph!
I have never read a book about Irish faeries before and it might have to be a genre I get into. I really enjoyed reading about Brigid and how she was a very independent character who really didn't lose sight of her end goal- to avenge her mother. I liked that she was strong in her own way and did whatever she had to to get gold and blood for the Fairy Queen. She is joined by Florence and Adelaide on her journey and they are such a fun trio! They could take on any man, any day. I would say the romance aspect of the book is mainly a romantic subplot, while it does take up a few chapters near the end of the book, I still got the impression that it wasn't the point of the book, if that makes sense. Overall, a fun and easy read.
