I picked this book knowing that cosy fantasy is not my thing but I wanted to try it out. There are some parts that I enjoyed, the stories of the folk, Wendell, getting into the fae world. However I was never really that curious about anything that happened. I also spaced out a lot while reading it, as all the most fun parts (for me aka fighting and gruesomeness of the folk) was touched only in words. As a scholar it does fit the main character.
