I finished this book DAYS ago and haven’t been able to get around to a review because I am still reeling from it. I want more, I need more 😂 I am so sad my time with Maeve, Roe, Lily, Fiona, Aaron, Nuala, Manson et al is over. This final installment had me literally up reading through the entire night (also partially the reason it’s taken so long to share my thoughts- this ND 36 year old doesn’t bounce back well from that). Honestly, if you love a good witchy vibe, folklore, cultish stuff - this is for you.

what a trilogy! imma miss them though.

i cried so much in the final tattoo scene. it was a beautiful end to their story. also, you cannot convince me that roe and maeve stayed broken up.
