fast-paced

4.25

My friend bullied me into buying this, and I have zero regrets.

I found the writing style a bit hard to get into, but once I was in, I was IN. 

Rook is a wonderful book boyfriend, and Isobel is just the best.

That’s all I got right now. Probably gonna update with a real review later.

I really enjoyed reading this book, I loved the setting and the world was really unique. The magic system is so creative and I have not seen a similar magic system. It was quite eye-opening with what is considered as Craft, for example cooking which is one of the most basic parts of our survival (I had a similar reaction as Isobel). I couldn't stop reading this and didn't want to put down the book to go to bed (after a while because at first I was not that interested). Overall I love the characters, I find Rook and his mannerisms cute like he was head over heels in love with Isobel AHHH. I felt a bit unsatisfied with the ending like <spoiler? I wanted to see them make new laws or at least explain what you had to do to become King/ Queen? I would have loved to have more to read from this world but at the same time I understand why this one is a standalone.

5.0

This is my all time favourite book!

Isobel and Rook are so FRICKING CUTE! I have no other words for the way this book made me feel, except that I just felt really happy and content after reading it. And now I just think of craving more.

I'm sorry, this book just ✨stole✨ my heart and many probably won't understand such an intense liking to the book and it's characters, but there was something magical in it, I swear! The book literally used some kind of magic on me, because I genuinely enjoyed every part of it. I remember reading and always being like: "I can't stop!"

The famous teapot scene, where Rook almost got "assassinated" by a teapot was as cute as I imagined. And not to mention the fact that Rook could turn into a raven... those birds are so cool and I love that he can do that! Please, I need more!!

Uses a lot of tropes, but if you like those tropes like I did it I’d perfectly charming. A great palate cleanser. Like Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries meets The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea.
