I initially found this book when it was mentioned a lot on Instagram, and when I finally managed to get my hands on it, I read it three consecutive times. After having finished a major series- Throne of Glass, any fans?- I was a little put off by the high fantasy vibe because I wanted a break, but oh boy was I wrong. This book was one of my favourite reads of 2018, for so many reasons. The writing style wasn't laborious to read, or boring, it drew me right in straight away! And within the first few chapters, I was already in love with all of the characters.
Without issuing any spoilers, the plot twists in this book left me reeling, and coupled with the dark beauty of traditional faerie folklore woven into this book, it was definitely something to enjoy. I'll hopefully be getting my hands on The Wicked King, and I just can't wait!
