So I do kinda enjoy this book but there are some odd inconsistencies with the Weywood part I just read.
At first they don’t want to anger the forest, so they don’t make a fire but eventually they do? Then they speak quietly to not attract attention, but they still break out their lyre and sing?? Why??
I also find ALL the characters mercurial. Their moods seem to change with every sentence.

Finally, the two were given gifts and allowed to keep them.
If the realm was to be a secret, why even capture and bring them over in the first place? Wouldn’t it have been better to monitor and see where they were going, then let them pass without knowledge of Ardina’s realm? I know the plot was to have Ardina meet them, but this part kinda defied logic.

I am nitpicking, but I find Ardina’s rule that those who venture into her realm cannot leave to be contradictory. Firstly, the hunters were the ones who found C&M. If they hadn’t appeared before them, these two wouldn’t have known the hunters were there. Then, they were brought to the realm, which C&M didn’t even know existed!

I must admit that I enjoyed reading a female protagonist who actually had to deal with periods while on a quest. It’s so relatable! Cadvan’s encounter with Maerad when she had her first period was hilarious too. I’ve never actually come across a female protagonist who had to deal with such practical issues.
