  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

4.0

I'm gonna echo what my friend Kat said: that I wasn't sure how I was going to get past the bullying at first, then we realized that they can just BOTH be horrible and manipulate each other !!! This is true enemies to lovers (but v slow burn and romance is not the focus).

The one downside to this series is it feels like prior knowledge of fey/fae culture is needed, because the worldbuilding doesn't do a great job of explaining some dynamics particularly between fey and humans.
