Unseelie

Before I start my review, I want to state that I feel that it's very important that you read the author's notes in this book. It sheds some light on this book in ways I couldn't tell you. It also gives a glimpse of who she is as a person. That said, I want to start by saying that I'm so in love with this cover. I can't remember how I came across the book. I can say that I'm glad I did. The story was amazing. I connected so well with Seelie. I have ADHD. Seelie is autistic. (More in blog)

This book grabbed me from the very beginning and never let go. I loved traveling with Seelie and Isolde as they journeyed with former rivals Olani and Raze to find answers and possibly ancient treasure that holds promises of a brighter future.

I've read books for younger readers with autistic characters, but this the first time I can say I have a

I especially enjoyed reading about Iselia and her journeys. I like her as a character and I felt that her emotions were well portrayed/expressed in the book. Some other characters were not my favorite when I first met them, but they grew on me as I could see their character develop and grow. The plot of the book was interesting and there was not a moment where it seemed boring or slow. It was a little hard to get into the book at the beginning, once I started, I didn't want to put the book down.
