This book was one of the highlights of my year. (I’m glad I finished in time for this year haha.)
I loved loved loved Emily and Wendell’s dynamic. I loved how Emily was immune to his charm but slowly descended into liking him, and I loved the bickering between them. Their romance was so believable and developed in surprising ways. I also liked that there was always a sense of danger between them, as Wendell was a fairy, but then Emily grew to trust him.
The descriptions of the icy landscape of the setting were beautiful. I also loved the mysterious descriptions of the fairies.
I also liked the short sections of Wendell’s writing. They made me laugh how his character shined through!
This book was so heartwarming, and i am so excited for the next installment! I really have to love a book to read the next in the series, so this is high praise coming from me!
