I gave this book 3.25 stars, it was a meh book. It got sooo much hype and idk how, nothing about this book was cozy and it took sooo long to get into. I adore fantasy but this did nothing for me. Idk if I will continue the series because I was not a fan of this. 

Quotes: 
  • “If anyone were to claim greater happiness in their careers than I do in poking about sunlit wildwoods for faerie footprints, I should not believe it.”
  • “How was it that I suddenly had faerie kings, plural, demanding to marry me?”
  • “...books became my best friends.”
  • “if something is impossible, you cannot be terrible at it”
  • “If you do not admit kindness from others, you cannot be surprised when they fail to offer any.”
  • “I suppose most children fall in love with faeries at some point, but my fascination was never about magic or the granting of wishes. The Folk were of another world, with its own rules and customs–and to a child who always felt ill-suited to her own world, the lure was irresistible.”

Tropes:
 
  • Historical Fantasy
  • Academic Rivals
  • Cantankerous Professor Trope
  • Kidnapping
