i don't know why, but this was giving me the vibes of a regency romance meets lord of the rings and i absolutely LOVED IT
first of all? the main character? once again, chef's kiss. isobel is smart, calculated, and stubborn and we loved to see every trait of that throughout the story
the plot twist? fire. i didn't see it coming (though i should have in retrospect)
ugh. the exploration of the immense power of human emotion and creativity. that was incredible to witness on both the human and fair folk side. as book lovers, i'm sure we can all cringe at the idea of not ever being able to read again, even if it meant living forever. why live forever if you can't read every book in existence?
it got a little silly goofy ok let's stop wasting ink and trees y'all at some points but otherwise, had a smashingly good time
