This book was SO GREAT and I loved every minute! It is very rare that a fantasy book enchants me these days, but I got the feeling that I used to get when I was a kid from this. The book beautifully balances a strong plot/great world-building with characters you root for. The romance in this was also so beautifully done. Cannot wait to read the sequel!

honestly, the first 50% was a snoozefest. yes, the world building was poor but the ch 30-35 had me kicking my feet 🤭 honestly they did rivals so well and when you take away the plot holes and just vibe it’s not too bad

Young YA. Info dumps without enough exploration of motives.

This book, keeps you invested to the end. It keeps you hooked and is such an easy read. Iris and Roman are fated to be together it feels like especially through the history of their typewriters but the way it leaves you hanging leaves you to ponder how will it all end?
