5.0

simply put, i adored this story.

so much so that I didn't want this nearly 500-page book to end!!

i wasn't expecting it at all, but this story is a lot more cozy than you would expect, playful and surprising and meandering in just the right ways. there's little sense of urgency to the plot; instead, it feels like each twist and turn is given the time to breathe and unfurl just so—each word and emotion and action chosen with utmost care. this book is damn well written and i was impressed; truly, the experience of reading this book was akin to reading The Night Circus or The Chronicles of Prydain for the first time—perfectly magical and leaving me wanting more.

5 out of 5 stars ⭐️
