I just finished reading this for the second time and wow, it is just as amazing as I remembered! Such great characters, super interesting plot, just the right amount of world building, beautiful but not overdone descriptions, and a believable and sweet romance. Some of the interactions between the main characters were really hilarious,  I love Rook with my whole heart, and  Isobel was such a great heroine. There are definitely “unknowns” in this book that are never quite explained since it is on the shorter side- not things that are central to the plot, but there are times I wish things were expanded upon. I also wish that we saw a little more of the specifics of Rook and Isobel’s time spent together in the early parts of the book, I think even one more scene
while she was painting his portrait
could have made their relationship feel that much more real. However all in all I loved this book and would highly recommend it! Also, this is YA but I think older audiences would totally enjoy it as well because the writing is so good and I don’t find it falls into the common YA tropes.
