Although this isn't my usual reading genre, I found myself pleasantly surprised by how quickly I became immersed in the world of the story. The pacing felt a bit slow at the beginning, which initially made it challenging to stay engaged, but as I continued, the narrative picked up momentum, and by the halfway point, I was utterly hooked. 

Emily, the main character, truly won me over with her determination and passion. Her drive to pursue her interests is incredibly inspiring and adds depth to her character, making her relatable and admirable. 

The rich history and intricate lore surrounding the Fae captivated me as well. The author did a fantastic job of weaving these elements into the narrative, creating a magical atmosphere that feels both enchanting and believable. I'm definitely eager to explore more of this series and see where the story takes us next.
