Absolutely adored this book. The way the author describes how Edwin and Robin see each other, as well as the way magic works in this world, was so brilliant and lovely. I also really enjoyed mystery plot line and how that was interwoven into the story.
A couple things that I think let it down and the reason it didn’t quite make it to 5⭐️ is because I think the world building was a bit clunky at the start and so it took me a while to get into it, and then also unfortunately the ending felt rushed, a bit unsatisfying and didn’t make complete sense to me.
It was an absolutely gorgeous story that was so well written, but just book ended by a slightly disappointing start and finish. I still think it is well worth the read, I love Edwin and Robin with my whole heart🫶
