Exquisitely written, so lyrical and alluring.
The narrative is enchanting and eery, dark and wondrous. It’s gothic and romantic.
The book gives us several fairy tales that intertwine with this tale someway or another.
A friendship and a love story in two timelines.
Two pasts wanting to come to light. The bridegroom wants to find his, and his bride to hide hers, but eventually both will come to light and the outcome is a twist that I did see come, but nonetheless gave me the finale I wished for.
After The Gilded Wolves and now this one, I can’t wait to read everything YA and adult the writer brings us.
