I loved literally everything about this book. The characters, the setting, the magic, the court intrigue, the religious trauma, all of it. This book feels like it was made for me, and I couldn’t stop reading it.
I love Lore, our main character, and Bastian and Gabe as well. Their relationships with each other felt so authentic, and I’m looking forward to seeing them develop even more in the next book.
I’m officially obsessed. The sequel can’t come soon enough. 5 stars.
