Faebound by Saara El-Arifi

There were a lot of things that I loved about this book— the writing style, the characters, the atmosphere, the magic system (though a bit confusing), and the cliffhanger. Every time I put this book down, I was so excited to pick it up again. That’s usually a sign of a five star read for me but this book fell short in some ways. The relationship development in particular felt a bit sub-par to me. I’m definitely hoping to see more of the emotional connection between Yeeran and her partner in the next book (along with less hitting/strangling each other whenever they argued). Also, I’m hoping we see more world building and a deeper exploration of the magic system, since those topics were barely touched in this book. It was a good read and something I’d recommend, if you’re not sensitive to the triggers!
