I love the narrators and I love the story. However, There was one thing that really threw me off and I think I need to talk about it. The characters in the story refer to all men and women as "males" and "females" and I get that these are not humans so it is supposed to be a thing but it had me cringing every few minutes. Because it is dehumanizing and it just feels weird. We have terms for animals based on whether they are male or female, even. So it seems off that the fae would refer to everyone as male and female. "As I held on to the only male I ever loved."
And "The male took as gasping breath" and "the female approached me."
It is like we are reading some police reports.
However, despite this I loved the story. I really did. I just needed to say some of the lines out loud and groan. In that way my entire family also got to enjoy it.
