Esse livro foi a coisa mais fofa do mundo. Todos os personagens são incríveis e eu queria ver ainda mais deles e desse mundo. Achei muito legal como o mundo mágico e o mundo normal se interagem aqui, e como a magia está em "tudo", e é claro, como o Capitalismo se colocaria no meio disso. Entre esse e "Em Águas Profundas", FT Lukens se consagra, para mim, como especialista em fantasia jovem!

This is a very sweet book about 2 young people a grumpy and sunshine falling in love, actually talking about consent at all points, and magic in an urban fantasy setting. A great book all around.

I only have 2 real criticisms of this book. 

1- it takes a good while for the true plot to start (as in we are almost half way through the book before the action really starts), but I don't mind it as much as I have with other books that have the same problem because the first half isn't just filler nonsense, there is a lot of character development and world building being done there, I just think the action could have started earlier.

Potential spoiler!

2- there are some significant things mentioned by the characters multiple times, so I naturally thought they would become a plot twist or revelation down the line. But the potential for that was just sort of left to wither a bit. I was expecting a big reveal due to how much this one thing was mentioned and it just came to nothing.

Overall, loved it! Definitely going to be staying on my shelf for a later reread. F T Lukens is an author I always trust for a good time!
