It started off enjoyable. 1-2 Grammer issues. The last 2/3 of the book was odd. It was hard to track the passage of time and when things were occurring which left the reader confused due to poor execution.  The world building was subpar. We get the ideas of fae creatures and about the magic but we learn northing the culture, societies, etc.
