This was a solid read! Great fantasy adventure. I enjoyed the developing relationships between all the characters, really great dialogue - mix of witty banter, heartfelt, and outbursts/ arguments. All felt authentic and purposeful. Seelie's character development took much longer than expected. The pace a little slower than I would have liked. At the 80% mark, I wanted things to wrap up already. Maybe too many scenes/tension building in just one book. But it was all really interesting! Don't read much changeling stories so pleasant experience. Raze felt like most developed character to me, enjoyed getting his back story. Wish there was more to Seelie but I guess it also made sense given she's a changeling. Badass how she saves the day! I wanted a bit more closure for the ending but perfect setup for sequel which I will definitely read!
