…sometimes strength isn't swords and steel and fire, as we are so often made to believe. Sometimes it's found in quiet, gentle places. The way you hold someone's hand as they grieve. The way you listen to others. The way you show up, day after day, even when you are weary or afraid or simply uncertain. That is strength, and I see it in you.

Oh how I adored this book. It is a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers set in a world full of magical realism - complete with enchanted typewriters. The characters were relatable and lovable. The writing was captivating. I am so excited to see where the lore and the love goes in book 2 (and incredibly relieved that I don’t have to wait for the second book to be released!).
