This book! I had just finished a number of depressing reads and wanted something magical to restore balance. Trefor, the Otherlands spy heard my wish and brought me this book.
The Drowned Woods has everything I like in a fantasy: great world-building, likable characters, a journey with a puzzle or two, and an impossible goal-in this case-a heist.
Loved the Welsh references and language, and the plot twists were just right. The three storylines of the Diviner, the Thief, and the Ironfetch wove together well without giving away the secrets. For me, this was just a solid satisfying read.
