A fun reading. Light and easy to read but with great world building, and enough fantasy and alternate worlds to tick the boxes for me. It is well written, and the characters each have their own individual voice, which helps keep you involved in the story. However, I was left with some questions, all of which are probably answered in later books in the series: why does Poppy want Cathy to paint? Why are the Fae sometimes referred to as patron and sometimes as patroon? Why do the fae-touched have children if they are immortal, and wouldn't that make the Nether rather overcrowded?
I enjoyed this as an easy read, but I'm not sure I'd read the rest of the series.
