Yay
fae transformation! I love the lines being linked back to roots.
I loved getting to be in other characters pov.
Rip Lukas! I love his character arch and how he showed Elloren courage, but I do agree that Yvan is end game. I did find myself hoping for a “why choose” trope because I loved them both and that usually doesn’t happen for love interests.
I also found it really realistic that
the eastern realm also had their own form of racism based on past experiences. It reminded me of how Susanne Collin’s also doesn’t set up a “all good vs evil”
