Two traumatised people finding each other, the bittersweetness of it made me feel so much. I adore them both. The world and the magic made me get lost in them and the writing is simply stunning. I thought that I'm more into an economic writing style but this book taught me that I love a poetic one just as much when it's done like it is in this book. This story works very well as a standalone but I'm still interested to return to this wonderful world in book 2, which is about a different character.
