I really loved the world building in Faebound. Having a world of elves, human, and fae and NOT centering the humans was an interesting choice, and I appreciate the way myth and prophecy is woven throughout. I also loved the Obeah! They are everything a magical companion creature should be and added a great element to the story. I also loved Yeeran, Lettle, and several of the other characters. Their relationships are complex and intertwined, and I enjoyed the main romances. 

What I didn’t like: this is a very predictable book. Every prophecy is repeated multiple times, usually right around when another clue to solving it appears, and every hidden identity has clue after clue after clue given explicitly in the text. It very much takes what you are supposed to figure out and hits you over the head with it repeatedly well before the characters themselves figure it out. Subtle, it is not. 

In that sense, this might make a good entry-to-fantasy read. If you are intimidated by fantasy worlds because you can’t seem to keep track who everyone is or why they are doing what they are doing, this is a good read for you.
