I liked it a lot but I really can’t be sure about anything narrated by Saskia Maarleveld honestly she is the best around.

An architecture student with literary dreams takes on the project of a lifetime: to redesign the home of one of the most esteemed authors in the world. The author, Emrys Myrddin, has since passed and his home has barely survived the effects of the Drowning. Meanwhile, Effy has been plagued by constant nightmares of the notorious Fairy King: a mystical character who is the antagonist of Myrddin’s most famous story. With the help of another student, Effy discovers if magic is indeed real as she explores the history of her idol.

This book is mysterious and enchanting. I appreciate how the characters not only uncover truths about others, but also uncover truths about themselves. I greatly enjoyed the character growth and the unique world in which this story is set. Even though this book took a bit longer than usual to get into, I felt it was worth the build up.
