The ending specifically was really strong, and I honestly cannot wait to see where this series goes! Overall I found it an enchanting read, one of strange magic and luring darkness that I couldn't help falling into. Still, I do acknowledge that generally I'm used to reading longer books, so this could just as well be on me and my preferences than the book itself, being only 200 or so pages. Had this been added in, I think there would have been more potential for us to align with the character's perspective, after being presented with the same information and understanding better why they came to these conclusions. For instance, at one point a character learns the history of another, but we don't get to read that. I would've loved to have seen this book a little longer, if only to build on some of the smaller details. It was fast paced, and I turned the pages with no hesitation whatsoever. The determination seen from her as she charges into these worlds headfirst was the sort of headstrong willingness you can't help but get caught up in. Journeying through variations of faerie courts while on a whirlwind of misguided trickery, this book really was an entertaining read with our main character attempting to be one step ahead, while also having no clue what's going on. Following Freya on her persistent endeavour to save her sister from the Goblin King, this turned out to be quite the adventure.
