This was my first time reading fantasy dealing with faerie folk so it took awhile for me to adjust to the themes and understand the world. I often had to google all the various different creatures to understand what they were exactly. However once the plot got moving I really enjoyed this book. I will say at times the plot was a little predictable but I didn't find that put me off the book that much. It's just something to keep in mind. 

In terms of the characters I really enjoy Jude, sometimes she made awful decisions but I feel like that just made her more real. Despite her desires she is no knight in shining armour and I find myself invested in her life, eager to see what comes next for her. Cardan is a bit ridiculous and evil but like any good male love interest should be pathetic. 

Excited to see what comes next.
