This book had a lot to love, but for me it also felt too rushed. What I loved was the other dimension, Endless, and its magical way of existing. The descriptions were so beautiful in both the dimensions as well as Trillin’s fluidity in her body and mind. Sian was also a great and funny character and I loved both of the love interests instantly. I know this is supposed to be a short and light read but making 10 life changing things happen in 48 hours while also trying to build romance and background lore just made me kind of breathless and not in a good way. Also, apart from few moments in the book, I needed more descriptions about the love interests senses when they interacted with each other! I do love the characters and the setting, but I’m not sure if I want to pick up the second book.
