As a (half) welsh girl myself, I loved this! A very sweet and super compelling historical fantasy which uses welsh folklore in such a fun way.
Don't want to give a star rating as I think this may be a time when a book just wasn't for me! I admire the author and her absolute determination to see her book published, especially with all the issues she's had. I think it's really lovely that she's able to put her art out into the world!
I liked Isy and all the banter she had with the Vold crew members (very Shallan/bridge 4 vibes) and I really like the initial world building! The setting was super vivid.
My issues just came in with the clarity of the prose for especially the last half of the book. Just felt like we jumped around a lot and it was a bit confusing. There were lots of plot points mentioned once and then never resolved or picked up again which made the story feel a bit lost and characters ended up repeating themselves fairly often.
If you like YA romantasy (which tbf is not a genre I particularly read) then I would definitely give this a go. Supporting a self published, indie author is never a bad thing to do!

I was on edge for like 90% of this but I'm fucking desperate for more. Give me the next book 😭 A couple of things I wasn't so keen on but I don't read a lot of YA so I feel I can't judge too harshly.

As with Morgan is My Name, I pretty much gobbled this up in one sitting. I spent the 14 months since I read the first book thinking about Morgan and counting down the days until Le Fay. It didn't disappoint! I'm so in love with these characters and Sophie Keetch's prose. I sobbed multiple times and felt so immersed into this little found family. I can't wait to read the final book!
