I feel dumb waiting so long to read this series.

I think this was a great first book to set-up the series. I'll admit it took me a little bit to get fully engaged (my reading progress for this book speaks to that), but I'd say by the first 30% I was in. I'm also a sucker for political intrigue so once that plot started rolling I was in. 

I also dig the more classical fae world ... although I can't decide whether I love the whole Fae world being adjacent to Human world ... obviously did not deter me in anyway but I did learn it's not my favourite plot set-up.
