I adore this book so much. I really liked the mature fairy tale vibes it gives. I found the characters to be well developed, interesting, and lovable, though, I would classify this as a plot-driven story mainly. The writing style is stellar. It uniquely balances the line between easy-to-read and what I consider more 'classic' fantasy prose. I got super sucked in. Loved the world building, loved the dynamics between the characters, and loved the ending!

It reminded me of an adult version of Hannah Whitten’s “For the Wolf,” but I did find that book more enjoyable.

It’s clear Nokik is a talented writer, her descriptions are lovely and evocative. However, I was uncomfortable with the attempted sexual assault near the beginning of the book and couldn’t really move past that since it was unnecessary to the plot.

Her characters were well written but were boring and took their sweet time to do anything.

This was hard to get through for me. I didn't like the fact the main character was instantly the best at magic, I hated the verbally abusive love interest, there was a sex scene that came out of nowhere that seemed out of place, the story was too complicated. I liked the premise and some of the writing, but it was way too long.
