If you are stuck at the beginning and the start feels sluggish, KEEP GOING! all of that will make sense. it will all be worth it.
If you are coming to this book for the sapphic love, know that it is not forefront and it is a SLOW burn. it kinda hits you at the end as it’s one built from friendship and forced proximity.
I’m off to go devour book 2 because THE CLIFF HANGER?!

I had a hard time at first, because of Sylah’s addiction she just made me so angry most of the time 😂
But oh am I glad I stuck with it! The world building, the magic system, EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THIS BOOK WAS PERFECT!
Oh and the plot twistS 🧑🍳💋 yes with a “S” because I could honestly not fully keep track of everything! I’m sure I missed some very important details for the next book! But I’ll probably re-read it when my hard copy arrives ☺️
Can’t wait to dive into the second one! 🥰
