I don't know if there's a genre called "fantasy noir" but this is the definition that comes to my mind.
We are used to book that features Fae as powerful and dangerous being. This book is different as the Fae were defeated by the Goblins and live in a world where they have no power in both magical and social way.
There's plenty going on and the story is told by different POVs of different social status. They can be poor fae or powerful goblins. Each of them wants to change something or a better life.
The world building is very original and well developed, it's a bleak world that somehow reminds of our own world.
The characters are well developed and my favorite are Sil and Granny Spregg, an outcast and an aged goblin with a sharp sense of humour.
This is a gritty, fast paced and enthralling novel, I hope there will be more in this world as I loved this one.
The author is a talented storyteller and the choral plot is never confusing and keeps you turning pages.
An excellent debut that I strongly recommend.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
