Overall, it was good. The tone switch from the first part where she’s in the human realm to the fae world was kinda jarring. The tone and the themes that were presented didn’t mess well but it did get sorted out. I did find that it felt like the author got ahead of themselves and it felt like they were forgetting what was happening or what information they have/haven’t shared. Ex. Ava and her friend ran into the house, away from a monster, and Ava goes, ‘you better stay here overnight because it’s too dangerous.’ and then a couple pages later, the friend goes, ‘oh, it’s past midnight, I better get home.’
My favourite quote: “Though he wore armour, it was obvious that he was rippling with muscles as he stopped and crossed his arms.” what do you mean it was obvious??
