No rating as I've decided not to finish it at the moment. A Feather So Black follows Fia, a changeling embarking on a quest to rescue the High Queen’s daughter in a kingdom deprived of magic. While the book delves into Celtic changeling mythology and offers an inspired fairytale twist reminiscent of the ugly duckling, it is hindered by pacing issues and flat characterization. Despite its attempt to explore adult themes, it reads more like a young adult novel, with its main distinguishing feature being its spicy factor. While the premise is intriguing, the thin plot and underdeveloped characters lead to premature disengagement from the story. However, individual tastes may vary, and readers who enjoy fantastical adventures with a hint of romance may find this book engaging.
