Holy Infodump, Batman! Send Robin to help me, please? Or just let the Joker blow it up, maybe. Ugh.
This is not nearly as original as I was led to believe. Making up gibberish words does not, in fact, decode them cleverly enough to make me not recognize something as blatantly obvious as the Fae.
This is so obviously a first novel. Inexperience and cliches abound.

Officially calling this as a hot mess of cliches and info-dumping. Info-dumping that just. does. not. end. Where was the editor on this thing? WHERE?! I'm actually MORE frustrated because I can see the potential under the mess than if this was just a genuinely bad book. I am so disappointed in Bloomsbury right now. They should have shepherded this so much better.

90% sure I know exactly what all the twists are going to be. Don't even need to be clairvoyant to see it coming, either.
I almost like the MC, but she's got so much Mary Sue on her that it's killing all my sympathy. Also, some of the implied romantic relationships in her past are pricking alarm bells and skeeving me out.
