I posted mid-book & it’s late, so I will say: ending did not disappoint! Enjoyed this a lot, will definitely seek out other books by this author.

The sacrifice of her familiar was shocking! I am interested by the spending of fairy life for human life, not callously but definitely with a ‘it was worth it’ kind of attitude, and I guess the assumption that her familiars still… have a non-messed-up relationship with her? I would like to see this engaged with more but I reckon it probably won’t be, which is alright.
