The first thing to impress me was the worldbuilding. It takes a bit to get used to as it’s unique mix of elements can be hard to wrap your head around at first, once I gelled with it everything made a lot of sense. This story feels very well thought through and I can already see the framework of how intense it’s going to be in the other two books but not being able to predict everything that’ll happen.
The characters were spectacular as well. These are my type of characters I love, flawed, annoying, absolutely lovely and just full of life. At first I wasn’t sure if I would like them all but Jen truly bamboozled me and I fell for all of them. And now I’m invested in them 🥹
The romances were also well done for the varying amount of time each gets.
I think there is only more to get excited about for The Bitter Twins and I can’t wait to start it. Except now, I sleep.

In this story we follow three main characters, Vintage, a forty-ish year-old woman who is investigating the mysteries of their world: the monsters, the hidden history and an enemy that no one knows anything about. Tor, an Eboran who decided to leave his homeland to escape the sickness spreading among his people. And, Noon, a fell-witch. Together they go on adventures and learn more about this mysterious world and its long lost history. I absolutely loved Vintage and how she was this curious middle-aged woman acting almost as a babysitter to the youngsters, Tor had this gloomy sarcasm about him and Noon was just growing more and more into a badass and I loved everything about all of them. But what fascinated me the most was the world, the mix of such classic fantasy elements with alien/sci-fi stuff was not what I expected and I fell in love with all of it! I am eager to read Bitter Twins.
