Definitely for fans of stuff like The Cruel Prince and ACOSF, and a solid little romantasy offering. I’d say this book is fine. The prose is decent, the experience of reading it isn’t unenjoyable, but it just sort of feels like a wash of ideas and tropes without a deep-seated soul or a why of their existence. It made me feel similarly to how I felt reading Fourth Wing. 

I love a fae book, I love stuff rooted in Irish lore, but just…nothing new was happening. If you want to read something that will make you feel just like x or y book, this is the one for you. 

Characters were fine, a little one-dimensional but definitely rooted in archetypes that are appealing to readers. You have your normal girl who hasn’t discovered her super special power yet, the dark and tortured prince who antagonizes the girl but bc he loooooves her and the greek chorus of barely fleshed out badass femmes that support our heroine.  

Meh. But it’ll sell.
