The Thorns Remain by J.J.A. Harwood

4.25

Well that was NOT a romantasy but it was a damn good story. Really appreciate an author using a now well-established genre and disrupting it. Loved the relations between the human and the Fae, how dark and twisted they would actually be, that was represented really well. Some of the writing is a bit juvenile, I think it took Harwood a bit of time to find their writing voice in the narrative, but it’s charming, fun, adventurous, frightening, and even a bit moving (no seriously I unexpectedly teared up multiple times). Not what I was expecting but I’m glad I read it.
