A review by beforeviolets
The Drowned Woods by Emily Lloyd-Jones

This book was pretty much exactly what it said on the tin: a YA fantasy heist with Welsh folklore, a bisexual MC, a romantic subplot, and a corgi spy. It was very sweet, a quick read, and walked the well-trodden paths of the classic fantasy heist tropes. I'd recommend this one to folks newer to fantasy stories or teen readers looking for something full of a fun cast of a characters and action-packed plot.
