I loved being back in this world! I forgot how brutal some of the characters could be and also some of the creatures described actually sounded like nightmares. Being in the perspective of a fae added some fun to the story as well.  There was less political scheming plot in this one since it mostly takes place away from the courts, so more adventure-y! The relationship between Wren and Oak was interesting to see since they have quite a bit of history and we see flashbacks of their interactions throughout the book. Comparing their childhood interactions with everything that has happened to each of them up to this point makes for some confusing feelings! I was able to predict the end reveal early on, but she really did point you in the direction so I feel like you were supposed to pick up on it?

 

wren is feral and i can't wait to see her tear oak apart in the next book. also, every time they mention the heart, i kept thinking of moana and the heart of te fiti
