I probably would have rated the story 3 stars (knocking off a a star or two) due to not being a fan of peeping tom behavior, even if the person being spied upon secretly likes it. Consent must be made prior to action and overtly communicated, and it was not always obvious to me that this had happened. Perhaps this is asking a bit much from a fae though.
I ultimately gave it 4 stars, though, because of the author's note at the end. Pat has a wonderful way of speaking about storytelling and children (I have attended two of his in-person signings and love listening to him talk or read aloud). I believe there is nothing more enjoyable to read than something that is lovely, honest, and true.

Bonus points for being explicitly trans supportive, twice, and for making Bast's obviously fluid sexuality canon. The best thing about it is the language/prose, though. This little book was everything I wanted and more.
