Reading for the 2nd time. Most recently started July 30, 2022.

This was such a bizarre book. I enjoyed it, basically the whole time - but I often had to put it down and take breaks because it was just SO WEIRD. I was desperate to find out what happened though, so it was ultimately a fairly quick read. I appreciated how unafraid this book was to get really in-your-face with the graphic descriptions of relatively horrifying things, however, since other aspects of the book felt very light and 'high-school'.

I enjoyed this foray into faerie lore (I generally steer sort of clear of genre fiction) and while I also enjoyed some of the romantic elements, I found Ben's romantic situation to be extremely dull and unbelievable. Which is a shame, because it had the potential to be so much more interesting than it was.

Overall, a very fun book. Strange. Made me seriously say "wtf" out loud a few times.
