High Times in the Low Parliament

Audio ARC provided by NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
Narrator was great and kept my attention when the plot itself made it wander. I would definitely listen to her narrate something else.
This was ok. I didn't completely gel with either the story or the characters but I'm not damning with faint praise; I think others would probably really enjoy this, especially if they want a queer lead who's a bit of a female rake and plenty of fey. The premise is that the MC is out courting and gets tricked into working for the Low Parliament which is where the fairies vote on various issues. I think the overall themes were that language is important and not all languages are directly translatable but that doesn't mean that what is being said is unimportant with the addition of 'some sort of political structure is better than no political structure no matter how frustrating it is.'
However, this just didn't really capture me. I liked it enough to get to the end, but it didn't rock my world or anything.
