I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It felt whimsical and warm from the first page, all while maintaining a light academia theme. Emily is a loveable protagonist, Shadow is a sweet side character, and Wendell is a vexing, yet compelling addition to the story.
Perhaps a little slow to start, it did take a few chapters for me to grow invested in the story, but once I did I was enraptured. My only complaint about this book is that I wanted it to be longer, and explore faerie lore in more depth. I wasn't ready for the book to end!
I absolutely adored this, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next book in the series. It can't come soon enough!
Features:
💚 Faerie folklore
💚 Rivals to lovers
💚 Whimsical atmosphere
💚 Faerie kings
If you like faerie kings and fae folklore mixed with some lovely light academia, this is definitely the book for you.
