One of my new favorite fantasy worlds!!!


This book is the spooky magical gothic world of my dreams. The folktale style and the Providence cards. The rich world that you are brought into isn't overwhelming and the world-building feels really natural. This whole book felt like a foggy autumn afternoon with a cup of tea. It was honestly such a good reading experience. 

The love story between Ravyn and Elspeth was so well done too. As an avid romance reader, I thought that it was really done and well balanced with the other things going on in the book. I loved going on adventures with them and seeing their bond grow. 

Also, the side characters are not to be ignored! They were so damn good! I was not only invested in Elspeth and Ravyn's story, but also Elm, Ione, and all of the Yew's.
