This was sweet! I liked it much more than I expected. I especially love the cast of supporting characters!

It has started too slowly, I can predict the ending. I might come back to this in the future but for now it’s not for me.

After reading Red, White and Royal Blue, I was excited to jump into this book. I have always loved sapphic romances and MQuiston's writing style combined with a fantasy time-travelling plotline was something that I could not pass up on.
I will admit, this novel took a bit longer to hook me in than Red, White and Royal Blue. The pacing felt a little slower, and it took a minute before the story really got rolling. But once it did, I was more than happy to keep on reading for hours on end. August quickly became a favourite of mine, and I think a lot of readers will really resonate with her character. The side characters to the story were also a lot of fun to follow along with, and I really enjoyed the friendships that August made with them along the way.
I have not yet read the bonus chapter, but I am excited to read it when I get the chance!
