A half-fae woman with no magic finds herself failing upward to her destiny, with no shortage of love interests she stops at nothing to do what she thinks is right for her family and friends. 

I wasn't into the new adult story at first, especially since the whole plot gets driven forward by the FMC's "bad choices", but I finally got into it when she sets off to find the other 4 crows.

Kind of wish this had a different title that didn't try to ride the romantasy hype train.

This story took for ever to get going. It eventually got interesting but damn the FMC was super annoying at times and naive. Like suuuuper naive. I want to see what happens next but I don’t think I’ll end up finishing this series unless it gets much better

Regretful read. I'm sorry but I hate the writing.

Side note: I need to stop listening to booktok/booktube sometimes.
