did i finish this book or did this book finish me? 

my first read of the year ends up being a five star. folks, we’re off to a very good start.

my dive back into fantasy started with Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros — which i had immense fun with — but my god is this book a doozy and a half. it mixes fantasy with mystery with romance and greek mythology (sort of) so greatly. i thoroughly enjoyed reading the interactions between Iris and Roman — whether it be in writing or in person — a very visual, engaging and entertaining story that i absolutely COULD NOT put down. can we talk about the last two chapters + the epilogue? my goodness that hit me like a ton of bricks.

now, i must obviously run to my nearest target and buy the second book because HOW COULD YOU END THE BOOK LIKE THAT, REBECCA ROSS? NOW I MUST FINISH THIS DUOLOGY TO SAVE MY OWN HEART.
