Read this book if you’re looking for: magical adventures, strong sister bonds, Alice in Wonderland vibes, romance that isn’t cringy, and a story that keeps you hooked without overwhelming world-building.



✨ “Remember, it’s only a game.” ✨



I’d started this book a few times before and it never clicked… but this time, it completely did. The characters are so well-written, Scarlett is fierce and determined, and the whole adventure kept me flipping pages. I love when a book includes sisters (ride or die for mine 💕), so that instantly made me more invested.



The romance is there, but not overdone — just enough to keep things interesting without taking over the story. Honestly, when I finished I caught myself thinking… should I dive right into book #2?? 👀



If you like fantasy but hate spending the first 200 pages trying to memorize kingdoms, maps, and family trees, this one’s for you. Definitely recommend!
