The amazing parts were about the faeries and their realms. Inventive transporting stories that gripped me.
I adore the pet-like Poe and would devour a whole series told from his point of view.
The enveloping wintery atmosphere was beautiful.
The parts I hated concerned the humans -like some male authors can't write women, I think Heather Fawcett can't write humans, the people in this tale were drawn so broadly.
One event in this book confused me-
I do not understand at all how this book is considered 'cosy'; it's full of violent acts, vitriolic hatred, beheadings 🤔 -that's fine but it's not cosy🤷🏻♀️
I wish this book had been just an actual encyclopedia, it would have been pure magic.
