This was pretty good, it took me a minute to catch on and get into it but i liked the banter with the fmc and mmc, the cards and world were really interesting take on a magical system i hadnt see before. I also love poetry so those lil previews at the beginning of each chapter were fun and helped me learn the cards a little better as i read through. Some people said the poetry made some things too obvious, but i really didnt pick up on that.
The spice was very minimal, but the tension was a really nice addition to the story,, it was fleeting, but afterward had me giggling all the feels lol.
The end was good. I was not expecting that, I mean i was - not exactly, but reading it play out it was well done and has me running for book 2.

i liked the foggy/misty/monster vibes, but it felt like there were too many magical things going on with little explanation ? things also happened to work out perfectly a little too often

I had heard good things, but I was not prepared for this book. Easily in my top 10 of all time, if not top 5. I don't even know where to start. The mist filled, gothic setting is great. The subtle magic system backed by the power of the cards. The anti-hero build up of the Nightmare. Some of the lines gave frisson. I couldn't put the book down in the last hundred or so pages. I am immediately diving into the sequel as I type this.
