panI wanted to like this. It draws extensively & specifically from (mostly) Celtic folklore about the fae. I forgive a lot with a 1st book in a fantasy series because we have to build out a whole world but my issue was:
I was taken out of the plot so many times by a characters behavior:
-Why is Toby kissing this guy? Why do we like him?
-why is this character mad at Toby?
-Why doesn‘t Toby just tell the truth?
Etc
Also ..not what a hope chest is.
This book sounds really good so far! I'm on page 50, and I'm so intrigued. I love the little details from the previous book, but I also like that it's a separate story for itself. I'm excited to read more!
pick🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑Finally finished this after a huge reading slump! I really enjoyed it, I loved the characters, the romance, and the fantasy. It had beautiful descriptions and storytelling.
I'm actually having a really hard time getting back into this book because my brain isn't done obsessing over my last book.
I started reading this book almost a year ago but never got past halfway. I'm starting from the beginning again so I can finish it before seeing the friend who gave it to me. We meet up annually to talk about books, so I wanna have this one fresh in my mind when I see them again.
pickInteresting, but not entirely substantiated scholarship— still, definitely worth the read and fascinating 🧚🍁💀not for the weak-stomached scholar, that‘s for sure
