I received this book from NetGalley for review.

 This book was so good. I had some pacing issues near the end of the book, but that aside I really enjoyed this book. It's in my top ten of the year for sure.

Lore is a fantastic protagonist. She's smart, caring, and the kind of character that's easy to root for. She is a little naive at times, but she's also in a situation she'd never thought she'd be in, and doesn't know who to trust so she just ends up trusting the Fae she encounters who are kind. Something she didn't expect to see from Fae. 

I liked Asher as a character. It's really hard to talk about this character without spoiling anything. I have a lot to say, but I can't say any of it. 

Finndryl. Oh, Finndryl. He became a favorite character. He started as the typical grumpy character. He stayed grumpy but started to have a charm to it. I hope he has a larger role in the next book. 

One thing that I wish is that the cursed/enchanted library was in more of the book. It was kind of forgotten at one point. I wanted to learn how and why it was cursed. Maybe that's for the next book? I hope to understand that aspect of it and to learn more about the world as a whole. I also hope to learn how the humans got to that world as well, and if there's some connection of some kind.

I don't know how many books are going to be in this series, but I am excited to read them.
