I love this books so much, can’t recommend more. The story is just so good and I love the characters they such flushed out characters and feel so real. I love them all even when they made me mad at them.

A heartbreakingly good fantasy story with twists, turns, sapphics, and witches. I seriously enjoyed the atmosphere of this story. And the short chapters made it much easier for me to pace myself and read the story. It has lovely characters and found family. I’d reccomend this to anyone who wants a good queer fantasy book with action and suspense!

(I also recommend getting the paperback version with the character art & the bonus story! Both were a lovely little treat)

Too YA

Wanted to like this one too, but it all just felt too forced. again, like with all my DNF YA books,  I think this is on me. Cool systems, queer, etc, but just not my cup of tea at the moment.

It was a long one but it was worth it. It is a wonderful tale of witches and magic, betrayal, and queer longing. I would read it again and I would recommend it to others.
