Overall really enjoyed the story it’s very unique and fast paced! The relationship aspect was extremely YA to me and again waaaay too fast paced, i feel like there wasn’t enough build up of connection. Brutal scenes throughout the story, a lot of things i wasn’t expecting so that’s a plus! If you enjoy a story with multiple plot twists i recommend!

Kylie Lee Baker is officially a must-read author for me. After three books read from her, if her name is on the cover then it shall be in my hand soon. Everything I loved about the Night duology is here but in a new form. A fascinating magic system based in alchemy and raising people from the dead, a vivid Asian setting based on Chinese history, and a main character who doesn't quite fit in anywhere but makes sure she carves out a space just for herself anyway. Literally have nothing bad to say about this book and I cannot wait for the sequel!

Man did I enjoy this book. I'm so surprised! I'd loved the world and magic system. The main character was just amazing. I didn't go into this book expecting to love it so much, but here I am!
