Another fun installment of the series. I like how mismatched Wendell and Emily are because it's always entertaining. Emily is her scholarly self and can't help but research her way into more trouble.

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.

Everything that was interesting and charming about the previous book (folklore and fey study) is severely lacking in this installment. Emily is somehow even more unlikable, bratty, and entitled.

I found her treatment of her niece particularly unpleasant to read, as the niece did absolutely nothing wrong, but was viewed as a nuisance regardless.

Doppoetry Some scenes meandered with no point for so long and had the most boring, useless dialogue that didn't lead anywhere, so it felt like padding.

Emily constantly disrespects her elders and doesn't heed any warnings, yet somehow pulls through situations that she shouldn't have been able to pull through (the amount of plot armor in this book is so embarassing)

Doppoetry I will finish the series, but this is such a huge disappointment of a book, I will not even get into the romance that feels SO forced and makes no sense, and suffers from the same plot armor. 1w

I was having trouble engaging with the story to start. Then I realized the fairies weren‘t all going to be sweet and sassy Tinkerbells. Too dark for me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

There, all finished! There are aspects of it that feel like they could be streamlined (a particular mystery feels like it takes forever to solve given it's only a stepping stone on the way, and I'd solved it before the narrative condescended to get there), but I found myself sad when it was over. I'm glad I have a copy of Confounding Oaths (a loose sequel) out of the library ready to follow this. I love the narrative voice.

CarolynM I am really not a fantasy reader, but I will follow Alexis Hall anywhere and I loved the narrative voice in these books too. 1mo
