This ARC was requested and received in exchange for an honest review.
Poison Nights and Twilight Alchemy was a delightfully dark cottagecore novel. The world was fantastically developed. It was Ghibli-esque in it's descriptions of scenery, outfits, and food. I absolutely wanted to visit the festival and the opera in the story. The side characters were fun too. There are definitely darker elements to this story, but they balance out well with the whimsical.
Dulce & Reed's chemistry is wonderful and shines through the story. I thoroughly appreciated their witty banter throughout their journey. I felt like their relationship is well-built, and not rushed. There was just the right touch of spice, and it felt well-earned. They both felt like fleshed out characters, with their own lives and motivations outside of the romance. I'd honestly want to see more stories with them in it!
The magic and alchemy system was interesting - I liked seeing Dulce come up with creative options to use it. And the action scenes were wonderful to read! Cunning was used more often than brute force, and I adore that type of action.
This was absolutely what I needed to read right now, and I highly recommend trying it out.
