I liked this book quite a lot! The plot felt sort of drawn out; I think it could have been more concise. I loved the complex characters, the fantastic writing, and the detailed world-building!

I especially loved the tension between Aislinn and Keenan, like they are engaged in this mental battle every time they meet. The complex relationships between the various characters really kept things interesting. The ending was so entirely different from any fairy tale ever written; I was amazed with the solution they came up with. Brilliant writing!

The material does get pretty dark in places, but mostly there's just this fascinating magic hanging over the whole story. Like a dark moonlit night, that frightens and mesmerizes you at the same time.

I loved seeing the political intrigues of the faery court. I feel like there's a whole depth to this faery world set in the modern world that will be explored more in the following books of the series.
I will definitely read the next book!

As I said, the material can get pretty dark, but nothing really awful actually happens. Women are attacked by men or faeries, but are rescued before anything bad happens beyond a few bruises. A few characters spend the night together, but there is no description of their activities beyond kissing.
