Iselia “Seelie” and Isolde are not your average twin sisters. Seelie is an autistic changeling with unpredictable magic. When the pair end up in the middle of a heist gone awry, they make some new acquaintances and find themselves on a mysterious journey full of fae secrets. Will Seelie find a way to control her magic so she can keep her sister and herself safe?
UNSEELIE was a very interesting YA fantasy book. I loved the premise, especially that the main character was a neurodivergent female. There was great character development for Seelie. I enjoyed the other characters as well, though they were less developed. The worldbuilding was well done and I liked the different fantasy aspects. The beginning and end of the book had quite a bit of action while the middle felt pretty up and down in pace. The book is advertised as being “swoony” which I didn’t get a sense of but perhaps there will be more of that feeling in the sequel.
UNSEELIE is book one of Ivelisse Housman’s The Unseelie Duology. I’d recommend it to fans of YA fantasy and anyone looking for neurodivergent representation. I will be looking forward to reading book two in the future.
