'Unseelie' by Ivelisse Housman

4 stars!


Book Blurb:

"Twin sisters, both on the run, but different as day and night. One, a professional rogue, searches for a fabled treasure; the other, a changeling, searches for the truth behind her origins, trying to find a place to fit in with the realm of fae who made her and the humans who shun her.

Iselia “Seelie” Graygrove looks just like her twin, Isolde… but as an autistic changeling trying to navigate her unpredictable magic, Seelie finds it more difficult to fit in with the humans around her. When Seelie and Isolde are caught up in a heist gone wrong and make some unexpected allies, they find themselves unraveling a larger mystery that has its roots in the history of humans and fae alike.

Both sisters soon discover that the secrets of the faeries may be more valuable than any pile of gold and jewels. But can Seelie harness her magic in time to protect her sister, and herself?"


My Review:

This YA Fantasy novel has fairy magic, a mysterious quest, and excellent representation in the autistic main character. Twin sisters attempt a simple treasure heist and find themselves wrapped up in a journey towards even greater treasure, teaming up with a broody, privileged companion and his quick-witted friend. Close quarters and magic training help the four to set aside their differences, and about halfway through the book, the action picks up. Way up. Fairy realm glamor, hi-jinks, and tricks of magic make for entertaining tests for our adventurers.
