I am still reeling from that ending. I loved returning the Elfhame and was interested in where the plot might go. Without spoiling anything all I can really say is this book was good. I am going to suffer waiting for the sequel. My only real critique would be that Suren doesn’t really act like she was abused. In some scenes she shows evident signs but for others it’s like it never happened. I chalk this up to the Faeries being messed up and considering what Suren went through to be normal. Once again I cannot believe that ending and I’m so excited for the return to Elfhame.
