By the Orchid and owl is not just a pretty cover. This book was INCREDIBLE. oh my god. If Harry potter and fourth wing had a baby and it's uncle was acotar, this would be it. The world building, the magic system, the side characters?! Absolutely incredible. The main characters? Super relatable and Coen can get it! 

It deserves every one of these stars as it absolutely rocked my socks off. I am UNWELL with the ending and I only wish Mariah could write as fast as I devoured this book because I need book two ASAP. 

Thank you to Mariah for fitting me in as a last minute arc reader. I'm so incredibly happy to have read this book. 💕 All opinions are my own.
