I liked the way Irish folklore was kinda incorporated in the story. It’s done lightly but the author says so in the foreword which excuses the things that are not accurate. 

The story felt a bit unfinished. Why is there nothing done with the side character that can’t change back. There was such a opportunity to do that. 

It was also not exactly the ending i envisioned but that surprised me positively as most of these romance fantasy stories are wildly predictable.

The start was quite slow and the characters already seen before, but still I enjoyed my read. The story really did pick up after a few hundred pages and it was a delight to follow the adventures of Bran and Aisling. Without spoiling it, the end surprised me in a good sense, even if I was quite baffled at the decisions of some of the characters and reasoning behind them. Still, I'm excited to read the second and last book of this duology.

I am highly obsessed with the relationship between Bran and Aisling. Reading about a strong headed witch, that curses a member of the Fae and basically forces him to do her bidding was a breath of fresh air. As the story progresses, both parties realise that they need each other and need to learn how to rely on one another. Enemies to lovers vibe, but not in a toxic-relationship kind of way.

The relationship grows organically and is believable. Plus the ending (that I won't spoil) will have you on the floor. Can't wait to read the sequel.

I really like the book and the characters, but I find the ending somehow vague and there's some stuffs that are not explained quite well. Although, I understand because it has a book 2 but yeah, it's just my opinion.

I truly love this series. And Bran was one of my favorite characters from the first two books. Looking forward to the next one!
