A review by eheidenreich
Faebound by Saara El-Arifi
3.0
It is refreshing to have the main characters be in their late twenties & early thirties. I also really enjoyed how the fluidity of gender and sexuality was treated with normalcy.
Something that bugged me from the beginning, which I think may have been made worse by the narrator (audiobook reader) was the very stilted dialogue. The dialogue often felt robotic and unnatural to how people would actually speak. I also got slightly annoyed at the end by how long it took the characters to come to conclusions that were so obvious. This felt like YA level writing with adult content, which is why my rating is 3 stars.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this and am excited to see how the plot develops in the next book.
