ok really really cool concept of the different worlds and also the tether and all that, really liked that about the book, the characters were fun, willow definitely liked her a lot, can't wait for her to be even more badass in the second book and in that world, rowan tho i really liked him and i need more scenes pls!! caz was fun, reminds me a lot of kaz from six of crows so if you like kaz and then if you liked kaz and inej storyline and romance and all that, I think you could like willow and caz too, not really you know too similar, caz and willow have their own story and the bond and not really liking each other at first that kaz and inej don't have but definitely the same vibe so i feel like if you like kaz and inej, there's a change you could really like caz and willow!! also caz i wanted to slap him aut also after getting to know him on the deeper level, i just wanted to hug him and their development was cute, wish there was a little bit more and more slow burn than it was but not bad it's intriguing and entertaining and the plot was so fun too BUT THE ENDING??? WHAT THE HELL need to read the second book asap!! really excited to know more but also so scared what the hell i wasn't expecting but at the same time i should've known ksksk but overall, i had fun, like the "hate" to love romance, like the family too and DEFINITELY THE PEAKY BLINDERS INSPIRATION aa if you love peaky blinders definitely TRY THIS BOOK PLEASE!! rowan reminds me of john eheh both flirty and funny or at least trying to be haha then killian kinda reminds me of arthur always complaining but with the vest intentions, maeve the aunt obviously reminds me of polly both queen and reminding those boys their place and then we have juniper who is definitely similar to ada and it's so funny, my girly girl who wants to fall deeply in fall and doesn't take bullshit from the guys!! so love that i could associate them to the peaky blinders characters but wait killian tho hmmm kinda reminds me also of michael wish michael and arthur don't really have anything in common so yeah idk killian it's a little bit difficult but still the book has peaky blinders vibes and it's fun and hot and also deals with depression and trauma so check trigger warnings too but so good, i just needed more slow burn romance but then they do I have that bond so yeah just missing something STILL good and i need to continue asap!
