I do not support all women. Some of yall (Emily Wilde) are dumb (said somewhat endearingly). I skimmed most of the last quarter of this book because it became a bit tedious at times. Overall an okay read, but I am disappointed since I’d heard such great things about it.

The hype was real, and it was beautiful! I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Emily, Wendell, and the rest of the quirky, wonderful characters that populate this book. The incorporation of faerie legend and worldbuilding was so gorgeously and naturally done, and I could not get over how much I loved that part of the story. Truly a beautiful reading experience, and I can't wait to get my hands on book two!!!

found the ending a little disappointing in that it was set up to be this big difference but ended up being kinda the same thing? Different enough technically yes, but for me as a reader felt very similar to the og rescue plan.

I
Ultimately really liked it and will be picking up the sequel on payday!

I made sure to reign in my expectations before starting this one because I know all too well how popular books tend to disappoint when the expectations are too high. And honestly, this was a lot of fun. At the beginning, Emily irritated me a little bit, but she grew on me after. I loved the villagers, they were so precious. 
This book definitely sucked me in, and I found myself wanting to pick it up whenever I was not reading. It was all in all just a solid read, and I will definitely be continuing with the series.
