The only reason I couldn't give this 5 stars is it dragged just a bit in the middle - I think some things could maybe have been taken out - and there could have been just a little more development for Kestrin and Thorn. But overall, a really good read!!

For stalking - a character continually comes after another character. It's a form of it but maybe not in the common use of the word...felinedevil's review against another edition

Loved the worldbuilding and also the character development of the female main character as she is all of a sudden on her own and can make her own choices.
Considering where she is coming from, her family does not think much of her, I really loved her story ark.
On the whole this is rather a dark book, touching down on some rather difficult topics. Some of them I have not yet encountered in my YA readings over the last couple of years and I think the author does a really good job to discuss them through the story she tells.
Really, really worthwhile to read.
And then there is the short story at the end of this book.
And I just wished I could get more from this story as that was just fabulous story telling weaving fairy tales, the fae and a disabled main character together into a story that feels very, very strong and exciting. And I just wanted more.
