Leigh Bardugo does it once again. This historical fantasy novel is unlike anything I’ve ever read. I liked that we got right into the main plot of the story. I enjoyed watching Luzia’s development throughout the plot and how Santangel helped her along on her journey. Luckily the book ended just as I hoped it would, and it was such a beautiful story <3
