a verrryyy low 3 stars, only because it had more than one of my favorite tropes. it also had my most hated trope, & the book was boring af until the last 100 pages. this could've easily been shorter in my opinion, & i don't believe it's worth all the hype it's been getting.

Okay so I was pretty annoyed with this book for a good portion of it. It really feels like you're promised one thing and given something else entirely and even though the story given is interesting it just felt like a let down when the book butters you up for something else entirely. That being said I did like where the story went and how it ended. If it did a better job setting up expectations (perhaps giving us the intro chapters at later times in the story or something) I feel like i would enjoy it more. As it was it felt like i started reading one book and then was thrown into a different one against my will.

I loved this book! The scene was beautifully set, the story was compelling, and the characters felt real, human, and fascinating to get to know. This was a page turner for sure!

Shea Ernshaw has a very distinct writing style that borders on boring the reader and entertaining them. The entire idea of the story reminds me too much of The Hazel Wood written by Melissa Albert, which I can go so far as to say is better than this. I honestly couldn't finish it.
