๐ ~she imagined loving him would feel like falling in love with darkness, frightening and consuming yet utterly beautiful when the stars came out~๐
-literal poetry. this line is just so pretty. it painted a picture in my brain. stephanie garber is literally the queen as describing things.
๐ ~hope is a powerful thing. some say itโs a different breed of magic altogether.~๐
julian is mine. i am his. i love him.
okay, iโm literally so happy. stephanie garber is a new favorite author. the acknowledgments made me smile. i love how the first thing she put was โthank you, God, for being faithful when i was faithless, for your love, and for every miracle that made this book possible.โ i will forever love stephanie garber for this.

There was enough mystery and world building to keep me interested in reading more, though the characters were a bit one dimensional they managed to hold my attention.
Other books I've read with this vibe did not have strong enough characters to keep me engaged and since this was a debut novel it has a lot of promise for what comes next.
