4.0

This was a light and quick read. I enjoyed the world building and the general plot, but it's difficult to not compare this book to others like it. Encyclopaedia of Fairies comes to mind first, but that's so superior that I hesitate to compare, even with all the similarities. 

This book was too rushed, and I say that as someone who enjoys quick, concise stories. It really would've benefited from just 25-50 pages more developing their relationship. Them falling in love was extremely sudden and immediately went from infatuation to I-will-literally-die-for-you. I'm also very confused why the author decided to make it a relationship with a minor. It takes no effort to make the female lead 18 rather than 17. 

Beyond those two main complaints, I still had fun with this book. It's one you can finish in a single day and it held my attention while being slightly cozy. It's no masterpiece, but I'd still recommend it if you're looking for something light-hearted and a bit adventurous in a fae world.
