I cannot believe this was a debut novel, it is so whimsical and well thought out. I loved the magic system and the characters in this book, Collins and Joanna are my favs. The character development throughout the story is amazing and I can’t get over how Esther’s love for Pearl was so strong that is was the catalyst for this whole story. This story is filled with familial love, lies, betrayal, and surprisingly enough, trust and we get to see what happens when power falls into the wrong hands. Also those plot twists really had me going, my emotions were all over the place! Really the only downside for me was how slow the beginning was, it took me a little over a 100 pages to get hooked and I was starting to consider DNF’ing it but I’m so glad I didn’t. I cannot wait to see what other fantastic stories Emma Törzs comes up with.
