Unseelie was my final five-star read of 2022, and was easily one of my favorites for the whole year! As an autistic reader, there are very few books featuring protagonists that I can relate to on a neurodivergent level, and even fewer that are fantasy novels. I often use fantasy books to escape from the overwhelming real world, so to see someone like myself written into an epic fantasy was simply amazing! I am going to be thinking about this book non-stop and I am really hoping that a sequel will be coming!

Beyond my endless love for the autistic representation, Unseelie had lots of other elements that made it one of my top 2022 reads. The writing had just the perfect balance of humor and tension, both of which enhanced the reading experience for me. The pacing was excellent as well, with plenty of exciting magic and a wonderfully written bond between sisters. While I have not read many books with fae, Unseelie has convinced me that I should try to read more! I especially enjoyed the incorporation of Changelings into the story, as this is not something I’ve seen much of in fantasy novels.

My Recommendation-
Unseelie is an absolute must read for fans of young adult fantasy novels! I would especially urge any other neurodivergent readers to grab a copy, because it is just so refreshing to read from a neurodivergent perspective!
