This was an odd little book that I got as a Read Now option from Net Galley. The idea of a 19th century Scottish mill worker who is also descended from fairy royalty was intriguing, but the fantasy world-building was cliched, and the characterizations were thin. I kept reading because I wasn't sure where the author would take the plot, not because I felt deeply invested in the fate of the heroine, although Jane's lifelong struggle to find a place where she really belongs was poignant. I finished the book with the feeling that someone had told me a story, but not one that I had experienced and internalized fully.
