Okay SO, don't let the 3.5 fool you, I did really enjoy reading this, but I put it down and lost some steam which I think tainted my reading experience in the end. I'll keep this short and sweet with a classic pro/con list. 

Pros: 
- I really enjoyed Saeris and Fisher's dynamic. The romance scenes had me giggling and I thought they had great chemistry/banter by and large. 
- I liked that the world was beyond just your typical fae realm and incorporated a lot of different types of mythical creatures all in one
- I got to go head empty, no thoughts mode here which is exactly what I wanted to achieve out of this book 

Cons: 
- I would have liked a little more worldbuilding, if 2D is surface level and 3D is immersive, this was about 2.5D. I liked the world but for the context of the larger story I wish we got a little more. 
-I know this sounds counter to my previous point, but this book also should've been 100 pages shorter. If those 100 pages were well spent, the length would be fine, but as it is, we really could've lost a few pages. 
- The last quarter felt like a different book. I hate how fantasy books all happen in the last 25% and I was left with a lot of questions which I feel should have been answered for the sake of the story feeling complete. There were quite a few plot points toward the end that seemed to come out of nowhere which frustrated me and not necessarily just for the sake of set up for book 2. 

All that being said, I will almost definitely read the second book.
