LOVED!!
I read the Kingdom of Curses and Shadows series by this author and thought it was really fun. But this one takes it up a notch. Definitely my fav read from Leitao so far.
This one is kind of like a dark-tinged fairytale. There's magic and Fae and love and angst. There are multiple points of view been two main couples, political intrigue, a kind of under/between-world, even a hint of a dragon (which seems like it might feature more in the next one...).
Leitao's stories are always fast paced and fun with a wry hint of humour. I feel like this story really just elevated to the next level - even smoothness of the writing and the naturalness of the dialogue felt improved.
Overall I really enjoyed my time with this one and I'll be eagerly awaiting the next. If you like fun, fast paced fantasy with interesting characters, give it a shot!
