I wasn’t sure I would enjoy this book mainly because I feel the fae are overused in fantasy right now. I was pleasantly surprised this was the typical fairy fantasy.
I think I loved this as much as I did because the politics at play. It adds a depth to the plot.
I also happen to love the characters. No one is fully who they appear to be at first glance. I live characters that are layered and complex and this book delivers.
