I listened to this as an audiobook so perhaps I missed something but this book was a mixed bag for me.
I went in with super high expectations as Holly herself had set the bar high by making me love all her other books I’ve read but for some reason this one just didn’t hit the same. I didn’t fully connect with Kaye, and didn’t love Corne.
What I did love though was the world building of the Fae world. It’s what a keep coming back for and she delivered. The way Holly describes them in a way that makes them beautifully and enchanting but equally dangerous and scary, is an art.
