Urban fantasies have always had a special place in my heart and I’m always on the look out for new urban fantasies and let me tell you, this book delivered! I devoured The Wren in the Holly Library and was hard whenever I had to put it down to do other things. The writing was really good and I personally love the way this author incorporated and builded a ‘modern’ storyline around pagan Celtic folklore - I didn’t know about this particular folklore and absolutely loved it.
All of our characters felt complex and genuine, had their own scars and growth and I felt that they were all good and important for each other - they really complimented the storyline really beautifully. Graves does give Beast vibes - by him being a monster, previous *spoiler* and owning a gorgeous library -, but Wren is certainly no damsel in distress and I loved feeling included in this journey of hers.
I loved this book, The Wren in the Holly Library is exactly why I love romantasies and I greatly recommend this book! This book is filled with… magic.
