pickI obsessed over this read. The pages are beautiful. At first, I had qualms, as the narrative did not flow and some of the dialogue seemed a bit contrived.

November's adult fantasy Owlcrate is here and it's absolutely gorgeous. I love the colors and design.
pickPearson makes the leap to writing fantasy for adults (she‘s an established author who typically writes YA fantasy) with this book about a mortal woman & a Fae kingdom on the brink of disaster.

Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for a digital ARC.
