I cannot express how much this book felt like it was written precisely for me. Ballads, Faerie, grammar puns and Gramarye, a Tam Lin reference, a story about stories and naming and speaking aloud and UGH. It was so good.
And then the audiobook goes and makes it even better by including performances of the music by the author and her sister. This book has reduced me to incoherent screaming, but in a good way.
