This was so much fun but also very good quality. At first it reminded me of Six of Crows, but the writing style and characters are pretty different so it wasn't boring or predictable. The characters are all different and the way their stories are introduced and later connected to one another is very well done, especially for third person. Sometime I find it difficult to immediately get the character's voice from outside of their head, but despite the large cast I never had to check who's perspective I was reading nor did I get confused, because the voices are so distinct. 
 I've also only read one fae story (An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson) before and Shining Talon (lol) is a lot more sweet and kind of innocent than the other one was. Him and Rags are kind of the comedic relief, despite Tal being fae and those generally being intimidating and strange. One thing it had in common with An Enchantment of Ravens was that juxtaposition between the fae and the humans, that comparison of overt roughness versus fierceness hidden as elegance. 
Just from the synopsis, you might think that it's trope ridden and predictable, but I think even from the first chapter it's clear that it's really unique, and then later on you see how it twists in unlikely ways. One thing that took me way too long to notice were the fairy tale references

(I mean, glass coffin? Snow White anyone? And the one I was really proud of, mirrorglass? Definitely Snow Queen inspired)

but those were an entertaining easter egg for me nevertheless. 
P.S. Bonus points for entertaining animal companion characters
