Do you ever cry not because something is sad but because something is so heartwarming that your heart can’t take all the warmth so it ends up pouring all this different kinds of emotions all at once that you can’t seem to comprehend how to handle your insides so you just cry it all out?

Yeah, that’s what this book did to me. It was truly magical and so full of dreams and hopeful and sad but not too sad but still sad nevertheless. I cried, I laughed and I giggled and I smiled. The moment I finished and read the last sentence, it was like I was forcefully sunk back into reality where magic is none and dreams are grey. I miss everyone. I miss Xan, I miss Luna, I miss Fyrian, Glerk, the crow — everyone. I would do anything to have a chance to fall in love with this beautiful magical world all over again.

5/5 🌟
