The first part of the book is rather slow, but after you get through it, you are greeted with the beautiful reward of an incredible novel.
The relationship built between Emmett and Lucian is so beautiful and I'm so glad it comes back to them at the end, and Lucian finally remembers and discovers his true past

I'd love a follow up book to this, even just a novella to show how the story continues.

Definitely would've been a 5 star review, however I felt that the first 200 pages or so were quite slow pace, but also liked how that reflected the way Emmett was living at the time. The rest of the book was incredible though, the book has definitely earnt its place on my favourite shelf, and the beautiful hardback cover is stunning too.
