“One raven for uncertain peril. Six for danger sure to arrive. A dozen for death, if not avoided. The enchantment is sealed.”
this was a wonderful, fast-paced fae fantasy romance.
i was sucked into the story pretty quickly and found it more adventurous than i expected. the fae world and magics of this was fascinating, with fae being unable to do "Crafts" (arts of creations humans do: cooking, writing, sewing, painting, etc.), the different fae courts, etc. and of course this is more loyal to old fae tales where they're awful creatures ready to toy with human lives for fun.
i enjoyed the fmc, isobel, and her fae prince, rook. although i did want more scenes involving them that would've strengthened the romance aspect, i loved that isobel was always ready to give rook a piece of her mind (and he seemed to quite enjoy that).
there were a few details i would've liked explained more (the season realms and the hunt confused me and i still am not sure what their deal is) and i would've liked a longer epilogue, but i overall quite enjoyed this read.
Why do we desire, above all other things, that which has the greatest power to destroy us?”
Moderate: Death, Blood, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
