A fun take on the world of fae and humans. I love that the protagonist is a 30 something researcher from Cambridge; studious, driven, and socially inept. The counterbalance is hilarious, charming, and completely infuriating. There is an obligatory romantic element but it's minimal and buried well below the overarching plot. Overall, a great fantasy with interesting characters.
