when i first approached this book, i was expecting a fast-paced action-packed story because, well, it’s a concept of time travel and fantasy with a whole war going on in between. while i was mistaken, i was not disappointed. the writing is beautiful and poetic and there is still enough action that keeps me at the edge of my seat. something about the descriptions made me fall in love with this story even more. and, of course, it’s one of the most beautiful sapphic stories i’ve ever read. i enjoyed this book so much!
