Edit: so… this is now my favorite book of all time. Rereading parts and constantly thinking about these characters does that to a person.
Edit 2: So I reread it… and it’s still amazing. Good Soup 👌

I was pleasantly surprised by this book! The demon-human relationship was so interesting, and Nathaniel was a freaking sweetheart. The book did go on forever; every time you think they're getting to the solution/final battle/end, there's yet another twist. It's almost like the author wanted to cram a duology or even trilogy into one book. But otherwise this was a fun ride and I really enjoyed the characters and world!
Reread: November 2021
I really enjoyed this quick reread! The world is so magical and wonderful, and the characters unique. I actually enjoyed how much things were sped up this time around. I got swept up in the story and couldn’t put it down! I just wish grimoires existed in our world :)
Read for the Intertextuals book club!
