"What else is a curse but this? Love, stretched and warped beyond all meaning." 

A story filled with mysterious curses, seductive magic, family secrets, and a smattering of dark intrigue. I absolutely loved this book. Once I started reading, I didn't want to put it down. Georgia Summers's descriptions and world-building are so enthralling that you want to hang on to every word. It was so exciting being on the fringe of understanding and having things slowly revealed to you depending on which character's POV you were reading. If a book was written to talk more about the astrals, Fidelis, and Elandriel (basically anything fantastical mentioned in this book), then I would eat it up. This book just makes you want to dream and long for adventure. Please grab a copy of this when it comes out at the end of January 2024.
