Bookish Wayfarer"The High Mountain Court is such a refreshing take on fae and witch stories that I used to be obsessed with but got bored of. This book drew me right back into this folklore and had me itching for more. I can’t wait for book two of this fun, sweet, steamy, and intricate series."

"The High Mountain Court has become one of my favorite reads of the year. Actually, scratch that, it has become one of my favorite fantasy books of all time. Magic, faeries, witches, adventure, mystery, and romance – this book has all the trappings of a captivating story...An entrancing, escapist fantasy that is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas."
