This was the most focused on worldbuilding I’ve felt Black has been throughout the entire series. There was SO much we didn’t see in prior books—about creatures, magic systems, and the overall makeup of Faerie.
That said, this wasn’t my favorite. I didn’t feel as drawn towards Oak and Wren as I was Jude and Cardan (them being in this book so much honestly saved it for me). The writing and story was there, but it was just missing something that drew me to the first 3.5 books.
