pickA human child raised in Faerie must forge her own path among the cruel and fantastic court of the Fae in this popular young adult series-starter, with urban fantasy elements that reminded me of Sunshine by Robin McKinley and Fae elements that reminded me of the Emily Wilde series by Heather Fawcett. A slow pace had me antsy at times, but the world-building paid off in an excellent plot twist, and I‘m heading into the second book now!
pickThis was a great story. I‘ve been in a T kingfisher mood lately and are loving reading through their works, a lot of which are a nice short length. This one is a sleeping beauty retelling with a twist. Very fun 😻
pick4/5 ?????
"No. I have many mothers. If I am hideous, then we are hideous together. And that made it easier, because in her heart of hearts, she could not believe that her mothers were anything but beautiful."

pickOmg LOVED. Holly Black truly is the fae queen! Loved Suren, loved the carnage, I can‘t wait for the next book! There was something I did guess correctly early on but it didn‘t take away from my enjoyment in the story, plus I didn‘t know how it was going to play out. That ice castle was truly nightmare fuel btw 😂 Art by Annalise Jensen 🖤
pickI love the snark in this series so very much.
“And whereas in the enlightened twenty-first century the marriage of a British aristocrat to a Person of Colour is a wholly unremarkable thing that results in no hostility whatsoever, in the bad old days of the 1800s it caused quite a scandal.“
Nothing makes me think of #Absurdity more than a Christopher Moore book 🤪💙
