Charming and whimsical. Avoids falling into cliches or feeling overly YA-ish. Love the mix of cuteness (ie the goat twins) with the truly bizarre and creepy nature of the faeries. Feels lush and lyrical. One complaint I have is it’s weird that the main character is 17 when Rook feels like a grown adult especially because she feels more like a 20 year old in terms of maturity and I think in some ways if she were 19 or 20 it would actually fit the story slightly better? Any way maybe it seems pedantic but it does always feel a little weird to me when fantasy books pair 16-17year olds with 500 year olds (even tho I know the whole thing is that fairies mature at a different pace).
