Reread this for the first time since 2018 and lowering the rating by one star. I enjoyed it very much, but I just don't think it is as good as the other books I've rated 5 stars recently. It's a little too insta-lovey for my taste, though that didn't stop me from eating up all of the romance, lol. I love Rook. Give me a broody fae love interest in every book, please, and thank you. 

Isobel is a fine character. She's not the most entertaining main character ever, but I still enjoy her. 

The action at the end of the book wasn't given enough time to shine, I think. While finishing up the book with 10 pages left, I was thinking there was no way on earth it would wrap up in such a small number of pages. I think the story would've benefited from a little less traveling through the fae world and a little more dealing with the conflict at the end. And the whole "summer land is rotting" thing just was never really explored, which also drove me a little bit bonkers. All this stuff that could've been explored in a series, even just a duology, was crammed into a book that's barely 300 pages long. I dunno, I just wanted to learn more about all the stuff going wrong in the world and the consequences of the characters' actions.

Fun book, though! Highly recommend if you're not like me and want every book to be ridiculously long and detailed.
