These books are fun. I like the characters, the writing is pretty decent, and the story is interesting. I’m excited for the next book!
The main character has anxiety, and I feel pretty seen by it. I feel that the depression she goes through is surprisingly nuanced.
The one ick I have is that I’m unsure of how I feel about this “last full blooded fae” thing. I know it’s a chosen one trope. I know it’s not meant to be anything other than magic girl shenanigans. It just also feels… eugenics is potentially a strong word, but somewhere in that realm. Something about it is a little ick.

I liked this book much better than the first one. This book feels much more unique and not just a cookie cutter romantasy novel like I felt Dawn of Onyx was.
