The beginning was a bit slow to me but once they got to the castle and the mystery started unfolding I was hooked. The sapphic coming of age love story was so wonderful. The epilogue absolutely made this book for me, it was such a profound ending. I would love to see a sequel that goes more into the underworld storyline from the epilogue!
