The ending feels a little bit too rushed but other than that, I think this was my favourite reread so far!

I feel like this book really caters towards the ever-iconic "horse girl" and I've never really had much of an interest in horses or horse riding to the point where not even Seanan McGuire couldn't make my cold dead heart care. I can tell you though if this was a book about cows I would've been all over it.
This was initially pitched to me as revolving around or having kelpies and I was sad to discover that really there aren't any until the very end. I wish there had been more of them but knowing the overall story and how they fit into it, I'm okay with what we got. I will say, though this obviously wasn't my cup of tea, I did really enjoy the plot twist at the end.
I feel bad. I love this series and there was nothing wrong with this book or the characters to make me dislike it, it just wasn't for me.
