This is an interesting plot concept with lots of subplots. Think soccer/capture the flag on flying animals, Nancy drew and the hardy boys, and magical beings divided between seller and unseelie. It reads as more YA but cute with the rivals and fake dating tropes. The banter is hilarious and the side characters too. I like the slow development of the relationship and emotional depth the pacing provides. No spice yet.

Finally get to the spice but it feels so forced and is not a natural progression. Totally wrong time and reason. We might die so let’s shag (yes I’ve taken on British terminology thanks to reading it for hundreds of pages). This is in total contrast to the pace and slow building of emotional depth between them. Very inorganic. Ugh! It would have been better to wait or not do it at all.

Checking out what all the hype is about and despite my skepticism, it’s actually pretty good. The banter and hateful glares and dogs are carrying this cheese plot so far. Still trying to get used to the British/ Scottish accents and terminology.
