I had heard so many good reviews and they were all correct. I love Jacks, I love Evangeline, and I can’t wait to see their story unfold in the next book. Also, if you like Ghibli movies, this book is for you. Evangeline feels very much like a Ghibli protagonist: she is good, kind, resourceful, imaginative, and funny. What convinced me to read this book was that someone compared it to Howl’s Moving Castle and they were right in so many ways. Somehow the aesthetic also reminded me of the early Barbie movies, which is a plus.

I love me a morally grey villain, but jacks is something else, & I am here for it! Marisol annoys me, but Evangeline is *chefs kiss*, just amazing! I can’t believe it took me this long to read this book! But also I’m glad cause I won’t have to wait long to read the 3rd book. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to start the 2nd book now. 😁

Absolutely loved it. I love the dynamic between Jacks and Evangeline. How she can be so naive but still keep Jacks on his toes. I really liked the mystery aspect of this story and I’m excited to read the sequel.
