honestly? it was quite nice, won’t lie.
a literary masterpiece? no, but nice.

HOWEVER IVE GOT A BONE TO PICK AND THAT BONE IS ENDING BOOKS IN A CLIFFHANGER !!!!

babes, I’m a med student that’s so close to finals I can feel them breathing down my neck WHEN IN THE LIVING HELL I AM WILL I GET TIME TO READ THE SECOND PART??

that said…


Dearest authors,
PLEASE don’t end your book in cliffhangers like this. I ASSURE you that if I like the book I’ll gladly read the whole saga even if it’s a nonsensical mess. PLEASE. IM BEGGING (like trystan lol)

Yours dearly,
Maria.

Edit:

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE SECOND PART IS OUT AUGUST 8???! Honestly, f-ck every author that writes such cliffhangers. I’m tempted to rate it one star now.

This was so fun to read! It was like reading a magical version of the office, if it were a fairy tale. I enjoyed the secondary characters, the banter and the world-building—I already can’t wait for the sequel!

I actually didn’t guess the twist until close to it happening which a nice change up. There’s definitely hints before, but not the “hints” that are really a brightly lit billboard.

• What I liked: The story concept, the addition of magical creatures (really wasn't expecting that at all), family dynamics, a realistic feeling sibling relationship (even if it was minimal). The slow burn romance and will-they-won't-they, and the thirsting wasn't excessive at all
• What I disliked: the twist where
  the villain isn't actually the villain (that's what SOLD me on the book)
  , that the character was an obvious author insert plus the cringey quirkiness (typical romance-fantasy style) and inserting outfits randomly everywhere. Plus the
  <'dating her boss' /spoiler>  trope was kinda eh
• Overall thoughts: really cool story and I love the concept! Much better writing than fourth wing even if the characters are still the author-insert quirky girl thing which was less bothersome here because the story was interesting and was advertised PURELY as a romance so it is almost expected. Crabby male characters will always win me over because it's funny. The
  fake-trustworthiness of the 'good' people being pretty convincing 
    was good too.

I may be biased because I've been following Hannah's series since forever, but the book exceeded my already high expectations. The characters are lovely, they have a banter that's so enjoyable, and the twists and turns of the story keep you on your toes. You relax and laugh one moment and then BAM, something happens that takes you by complete surprise. I enjoyed it so, so much.
It's not a 5 star read for me because, despite me loving a good pinning, it felt a bit insta-lovey, and that's not my cup of tea.

Amazing, this book made me laugh, squeal, cry, throw my phone across the room. Grumpy sunshine with a slow burn where he falls hard, and I am forever obsessed
