The plot is decent, it kept me engaged, there’s a quest vibe to it which I liked. We get lots of answers in this book but as I said earlier it also opens up lots of unanswered questions and leaves behind holes. Various plot points happen in the story which we just don’t seem to hear about again and I find that annoying. I’m really hoping all the loose ends get tied up in book three as I would be very appreciative of that.
The ending was great and Jacks’ decision of how to use the stones made my little heart extremely happy. The whole thing was left on a cliffhanger which I’m always a sucker for so I enjoyed that a lot!
Overall it was a great read, I just think in terms of writing style, narrative depth and character development I don’t get how so many people give this a 5 star rating.

I found myself stealing little snippets of time to read as often as possible, and when I could, I would just sit down and devour whole sections, because Stephanie Garber has - yet again - written an absolutely enchanting book.
The slow burn between Jacks and Evangeline was great, and that ending....oof. Can't wait for book 3!

I loved Valenda and the magic it held, but I think I love The Magnificent North even more. It’s just a little more magical and has so many secrets hidden due to the story curse (iykyk). I also immediately need a prequel of Jacks before he becomes a Fate. We get a peek at who he was and I need more! Hopefully A Curse for True Love gives more insight!
Now please excuse me while I wallow because I have to wait 8 months for the next book.
“It hurts, Jacks.”
“I know, love. I’m going to take you somewhere safe.”
