enjoyed this book! i loved how illustrious the writing was & how fantastical that made it all feel. i also loved the relationship between the two main characters & really enjoyed reading their story. this was hard for me to read at times (probably a fault of my own) and had parts that were slower paced which i dont tend to enjoy in books.
would highly recommend this book to others who enjoy fantastical historical fiction. i’m giving this one 4.25/5 stars
i know there’s a sequel thats supposed to be about robin’s sister i think?? definitely adding to my tbr !

The first book of Marske’s Last Binding trilogy. I was underwhelmed by this trilogy as a whole, though the last book was quite good. The sense of time and place I enjoy in historical fiction doesn’t really develop until then. Some of the character traits and interpersonal dynamics in this series are… uncannily similar to Allie Therin’s Magic in Manhattan and Roaring Twenties Magic series, which I loved and did hope/expect Marske’s trilogy would fill the same niche, but the number of similarities—even the silhouette styled covers are alike—was kind of off-putting.
