This was an enjoyable read with a surprising amount of emotional depth and development.
The world building was a little shaky--it's basically England but there's magic and fae and some things are called different things while some stay the same (Queen Elizabeth I, King Arthur, Excalibur); these things are mentioned in passing so it wasn't too distracting, but I did get the sense that world wasn't fully developed for the reader.
