TL;DR: I love the concept of this book so much, I really liked the romance, the writing style is hit and miss for me, why does everyone have to interrupt each other in every conversati—

There was also a plot point that was just dropped that I felt needed more explanation.
Alta annoyed me a bit but maybe that’s a me problem…

vigil's review against another edition
4.0
it does leave several things up to interpretation for the reader. binding is the main characters true calling, and it’s repeatedly emphasized throughout the story. despite this, binding is given a very conflicting portrayal, and its more negative than you’d think. we don’t get to see really anything of the magical portion of emmett’s binding despite the concept being central to the plot.
this book is split up into three parts, all interconnected, but so varying in tone it can seem like you’re reading a different book.
if you enjoy character driven stories, heavy introspection, ambiguous interpretations, and a book more focused on a journey than an ending, i’d recommend this.
this book is pretty difficult to write a review about, and i suggest you go in knowing as little as possible. that being said, heed all content warnings.
