Nice read, though I think maybe my nostalgia for the story of the swan princess helped me along the way. The plot wasn't always very clear, it was very much a vibes book. And while i did like the Idea of the fae in their magically beautiful yet cruel world, the main character just didn't interact with any of the other characters, be it fae or human, in a very engaging way. Perhaps this is due to her closing herself off from being loved, for good reasons, but i i'm not sure i'd be interesting in reading about her journey any further.
