The story is exicting. It has fairy tale vibes. I don't know if it's because I didn't read the caraval series but I had to force myself a little to read until chapter three, after that I couldn't put the book down. There are a few plot holes you have to ignore but it's generally very good. The main character is very sweet, innocent and optimistic and sometimes makes impulsive decisions but fit her personality very well.

It may not have been the best fantasy I've ever read or the most gripping, but I loved the way I could connect with Evangeline and her desire for a happily ever after. The belief in fairytales was nostalgic and it was a lovely read. It's nice to slow down and read a YA book every once in awhile.

This was my very first Steohanie Garber and I think I love her!
The book had a beautiful, vivid and whimsical setting that came to life with her descriptions and the characters’ voices.
The main cast was both adorable, and felt really humane: like someone you could have met in real life, put into a world filled with magic.
I found Evangeline very realistic and easy to relate to: someone lovely and brave, who gets pushed ariund by her own feelings, but wants to always see the good in people even though it’s proving increasingly difficult as her circumstances change.
I knew Jacks was big on the bookish sphere and I do understand he has a certain magnetism and charm that jump out of the book to you, which makes it hard not to fall for him.
I felt like the plot was pretty well-crafted, and like it was an exciting and sweet start to a very promising trilogy.

Stephanie girl. I'm on the hospital and without the sequel, leaving me on a cliffhanger is rude af.
But listen, I had a good ass time. I laughed, I was shocked, I was swooning and I'm freaking obsessed. What a way to start the reading year.
