I found the writing in this book absolutely enchanting, and lyrical, but the main romance fell flat for me for most of the book. I was more invested in Torin and Sidra's relationship as I thought they were better-developed characters. Adaira felt very bland and secondary until the very end, which makes me hopeful for the next book. If you're looking for a book that relies heavily on vibes rather than development then this book is for you.

Folklore was great...but felt very slow. Like at times I was the one trudging through a landscape that instead of being shortened by the folk was being stretched.

5.0

A beautifully woven Scottish fantasy that is handled with gravitas and care. The relationships are loving and strained by real heavy secrets, not shallow insecurities and miscommunications. The love isn't cheesy nor solely about lust, nor does it feel separate from the storyline. The magic is integral and practical as well, instead of a weapon or a way to get out of difficult situations. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to read the sequel!
