I really liked Fia and Irian together (Although they didn't actually spend much time together). Fia grew a lot and Irian was great. I also enjoyed the magic and the different realms. I would have liked to spend less time in the human realm or for the time in Tír na nÓg to be less rushed.

The writing was good, I liked that the stories used were short and to the point. I did think the ending was a bit rushed, I would have liked to understand more about Fia, but hopefully this will be in the next book.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for an eARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I’m giving this first book a solid 3.5 stars. The story don’t really pick up until the last 150 pages or so i guess. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by how spicy it got, totally unexpected! The character growth was definitely a highlight, and despite the slow start, I’m intrigued enough to pick up the next installment.
p.s- i'm legit tired of all the ''shadow daddy'' characters i've read

Thank you so much Netgalley and Orbit Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!!

p.s- i've already reviewed this book before

A Feather So Black is a gripping epic romantasy. I thoroughly enjoyed this. The vibes of this felt like a mix of Uprooted/Deathless and The Cruel Prince. Without spoiling things, I'll say the use of the linear storytelling following a timeline was interesting and refreshing.

The romantic storylines were well developed and the love triangle, or rather an exploration of experiencing more than one love in life. I'm invested in Fia and Irian, who was such a compelling love interest. The fae folk lore was fantastic worldbuilding and gave a new perspective to what this gruesome world of the Folk can look like.

I was rooting for Fia and Irian and can't wait to see how their dynamic will play out. I just want more of them. Their banter was thrilling. The whole story played out in such a satisfying way.

Thank you to Netgalley and Orbit for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
