The Drowned Woods

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this. I loved the writing style. It's fast-paced and I was sucked in from the start.

I love fae stories. They didn't play a huge part in this, but they were still there.

I enjoyed the characters. Mer and Fane are my faves (and the fae or not fae Corgi of course). I really hope there will be more with theses characters.
I haven't read the Bone Houses by this author yet, but apparently I need to. I didn't realize until after I read this that they are set in the same world and somehow connected.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for an e-arc.

I read the Illumicrate special edition.

I had no expectations from this book and was still rather disappointed.
Up to the about 60% mark, it was strictly average and then it became just nonsensical.
The writing wasn't impressive. The typos on the other hand - very much so.
The plot was a mess of nonsense to the point of making me want to DNF at like 85%.

Finished it be sheer force of will.
