Unseelie is the story of Seelie, a changeling, and her twin sister Isolde, who is a human, trying to survive life and take care of each other. Unfortunately, a mission to do a little pick-pocketing goes wrong, and the two run into another pair of potential thieves, and Seelie accidentally (and magically) takes the thing they want. After a quick escape, the other two thieves manage to find them, and a whole new mission ensues.
This was a fun debut by Housman! The world-building and exposition was great, and I enjoyed the take on the changeling myth (which involves that autistic kids in the past were thought to have been regular kids, changed out with faerie-kind.) There was a lot of fun magic, and the story was left open for a sequel. All in all, definitely a good fantasy adventure story!
Thank you to Netgalley and Bookishfirst for the e-ARC and galley!
