There's something sweetly dark and cozy about Emily Lloyd-Jones' writing that has me craving more from this world. I was charmed by all three MCs, Branwen, Gwydion, and Pryderi. 
I loved both the friendships built and the unexpected heartache. TWH had the perfect balance of action/adventure and emotional damage, I mean, character focus.
Im glad there are other books set in this world (The Bone Houses -5 Stars and The Drowned Woods -tbr) because 1 is not enough.
My reread(s) will be soon and via audiobook bc Moira Quirk narrates!!! 🖤🖤🖤
Thanks to NetGalley and Little Brown Books for Young Readers for the eARC!
