Forget Rhysand and Cardan, Rook is my new favorite fae prince.
An Enchantment of Ravens is a beautifully written fantasy story of a mortal artist and a fae prince. I'll be honest, I enjoyed it way more than I expected too.
I usually try to stay away from faerie folk books because I haven't read many well-written ones, but I loved the worldbuilding in this one. The fae couldn't use the "Craft" - basically anything involving cooking, painting, writing, or other "creative" activities" - which was something I'd never encountered before.
The plot was admittedly more focused on romance than I usually prefer, but there was still a fair amount of danger and action which was really fun to read as well. I didn't "call" the main plot twist, but I wasn't surprised by it because I had incorrectly dismissed my theory.

I said to myself, "wouldn't it be funny if the spring prince was evil like Tamlin?" ... I should've known

I liked Isobel's character, but Rook was my favorite by far. Listen, you can't give me books about snarky princes with tragic pasts and expect me not to like them. Also, he was way more genuine than most love interests of his type are, so...
If you're looking for a wonderfully written fantasy novel with gorgeous worldbuilding and a romance that you can actually root for, check out An Enchantment of Ravens and I promise you won't be disappointed.
