I am not sure I have the words to describe how much this book means to me but I am going to sure try.

Unseelie is by far the best female - autistic representation (at least in the way it presents in me) I have ever read and throughout the book I kept stopping at the way seelie was thinking and saying “haha I do that too” or "thats exactly what i would do!" It is a whole new level of surreal to not only see myself in a book, but hear my same thought-process in the narration. Seelie is complex and flawed and pushed to grow by her companions without being told to change who she is.

Putting the fantastic rep aside the story was a super fun road trip/treasure hunt/ adventure through the magical fantasy world Housman has created while both including and subverting all my favorite tropes.

If you are a fan of Emily Lloyd-jones or Leslie Vedder like I am this will certainly be another favorite read.
