[Arc from Netgalley]
Going into this book, it instantly has a very cozy and familiar feel to it. The beginning is a slow start with some world building and introducing the characters, but after that the tempo is kept very engaging. The characters are well written, and likeable despite some having questionable careers.
The world is familiar with fae sorted into seelie and unseelie, but Glass has still managed to create a unique and vivid world. The descriptions of both the characters and the surroundings paint a nice picture. The writing in general is great, and the book sometimes reminded me of Neil Gaimans writing. Overall I really enjoyed the book as it was a sweet well written story.
Audiobook thoughts: It took me some getting used to the narrator as she is kinda low tempo, and the sing-song reciting of the rhymes felt a bit out of place for me. She is also doing accents to differentiate the different characters which felt weird to me, but at the same time it is a helpful way to show who's talking. Very subjective opinions.

I gave it another try after leaving it at 50% a while ago. That was a mistake.
The main character is insufferable, the love interest is only talking about his cock (I've never heard cock said out loud as many times before), and there's not a single interesting side character (or plot for tbh). I'm usually a fan of not making silly nicknames for genitalia, but this isn't it.
For the audiobook: the narrator was not a good fit, at all.
This is highly skippable.
*spoiler warning*
Reading smutty scenes where the love interest is talking about his ginormous cock, and how the MC is going to take it loses any charm it could have had with the nickname "little one".
