Nothing of consequence happened until the last 10-15% of the book. Yes there was world building but it felt repetitive and unimportant as I was listening. The ending was eventful.

Tarot card magic was definitely a new aspect to romantasy that I hadn't considered. However, with my experience with Rachel Gilig in the past few months, it seems this is a pattern. Knight and the Moth had divination - this has Tarot.
The relationship between Ravyn and Elspeth was nice and was fairly fleshed out, even with her keeping secrets of being infected and having bestie-monster in her mind.
Maybe it's my twisted mind, but I actually found the monster to be funny at times. I feel like he popped up to be a dick and I won't lie, I laughed here and there. He's no Bartholomew/Gargoyle, however.
Will I read book two? Yeah. Probably in 2-3 business weeks though 🤣

A Grimm-esque novel for the dark romance book people. The main character was a bit one note and the romance felt a bit forced, but the plot and the magic of the world are enough to keep going. I’ll be reading the next book in the series.

I loved this! And I wasn’t sure if I would ever really like another romantasy. Though I think this is heavier on the fantasy than the romance. I loved the characters and the story. This was just so well done!
