Super unique magical story! I loved that it was about alchemy and transmutation— my FullMetal heart was in love.

I loved loved loved the romance! It was a sweet, slow burn with my favorite part being realistic. Both Margaret and Wes had a lot of emotional baggage to go through and I love that they do it together without it being entirely forgotten. It shows that the process of healing is long and hard but beautiful and rewarding. 

I wish there was a little bit more behind the hala like that it was actually something they had to protect or the spirit of her brother, but I suppose that was the point. It was more there as symbolism for humanity and how darkness can not exist without the light. 

If you vibe with FullMetal Alchemist mixed with the Hunger Games, you’ll like this
