A lovely book with a established simple yet efficient universe of magic creatures interacting with humans and their world.
Sadly, it is a bit too slow for me at the beginning though I can see how some people might like this pace. The main character is a bit cold at the beginning and it is acknowledged, but the wait for her to show a bit more emotions is maybe too much?
And it took me about half the book to become really invested in the plot.
Though once you're in, you're in! And the side characters help the main ones shine in the best of way. I found myself rooting for everyone and I can't wait for the next book to come out now !
