tense

No

As a long time fan of Bardugo I was delighted to get tickets to her recent UK event in London and pick up a @waterstones special edition.
I throughly enjoyed this magical standalone. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy historical romance and the addition of magic was just *chefs kiss*. I was rooting for Luzia from the start I enjoyed her transformation as she stopped hiding her true nature and personality.
I enjoyed the romantic element but I would have prefer to experience more of the developing relationship on the page.
