this was such a good read!!! i really enjoyed the world building & plot setup. Lorelai and Sylvia’s rivals-to-lovers energy was so tense (and so good)!! I think Lorelai was a very well fleshed out character, with her being & understanding of the world firmly rooted in folklore. 

i agree with some other folks that the ending was a little rushed! i enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book more than the last third. i think it could’ve had about 50-100 more pages!! i really enjoyed the world and characters though and hope we get more in this universe. it reminded me of the Grishaverse! 

thank you to the author, publisher, and netgalley for a free copy of this eARC in exchange for my honest review 💜
