The pace of the book felt very slow to start, but picked up around 100 pages into it. The book is full of small details, and has a gritty magical feel to it. It embraces the modern day, but pulls in fairytales, angels, demons, and tarot cards. It sometimes gives the feel of a dark labyrinth and did leave me wondering how we were going to get out, but the ending tied up the majority of my questions. There are some queer side characters, and one of the main characters is bisexual, but the majority of the book focuses on male-female paired relationships. This is the kind of book I’d like more in the fall or winter months, as it’s a very inquisitive book, leading you more by questions than by answers.

It took me a bit to get into it, as I felt that the start was quite slow and information being withheld from the reader for an attempt at mystery which annoyed me a bit, but once the whole curse thing became clearer I did quite enjoy it

it was sort of slow to start for me and i wasnt really moved by the love story (although i love a bicon) but i thought the world building was really cool!
