I would die for Carrot

I’m having a good time so far. The story is engaging and I’m really invested in finding out what happened to Joar and Ali.

My main criticism is that the dialogue is kinda cheesy and unrealistic, especially for 14 year olds.

I’m really loving this book. It’s everything I’ve been looking for in a faerie story. Wendell and Emily’s dynamic is really cute and super reminiscent of Howl and Sophie. There’s also slight Jonmartin vibes too which I love. Poor Em is so socially inept, I keep screaming for Wendell to save her. They’re really cute.

Sophie and Calcifer strike a deal. We meet Howl officially. Apparently there’s a door in the castle that connects straight to Kingsbury. The councillor just gave Howl a bunch of money.

Now THIS is whimsy

I love Aeron and Quinn, they’re so cute lmao.

I would die for Hickory

Quinn is definitely growing on me and I do think that the romance between her and Aeron is cute. I’m definitely heavily invested at this point. The writing style still isn’t my favourite though. I think maybe I’d resonate with it more if I was younger.

I love Hickery! I think he’s definitely my favorite character so far.

Still not a huge fan of Quinn but maybe she’ll grow on me as the story progresses. As of right now, she comes across as pretty selfish and arrogant. Her obsession with piracy with no regard for how it affects everyone else is kind of annoying.

The world building is great though the pros feel a bit clunky at times. I do wish that there was a bit more whimsy in the descriptions of things since it is a fairy story.

I feel like Aston warmed up to Quinn too fast after finding out who she was. I think the story could have benefitted with a slightly slower pace when writing their relationship.

On chapter 9.
I’m having fun and I’m definitely invested, though I do find Quinn a bit annoying at times. I might just not be super into the ‘tough-stoic female MC’ trope though. We got introduced to Aereon and he’s cute. I like that the Nymph’s have blue skin in their mermaid form.

Super invested! It’s quite fast paced which I appreciate (less fluff)

I’m excited for the promised enemies to lovers!

They finally kissed omg!!!!

I paused for a week. I do feel like stuff is happening a little bit too slowly for my taste but the pros are very pretty.

Clarion tries sledding and some cute fluff between Milori and Clarion!
