Thank you SO MUCH to Simon & Schuster Australia for sending me a gorgeous PR box for this book. All thoughts are my own. Obviously. I emailed and begged for this bc I love this series.
And I LOVED this book. So much.
Oh, my gosh.
Sarai was such a wonderful main character. She’s been through so much and has hardened herself, moulded herself into something she isn’t, just to survive, to hold onto the people she has left, to not disappoint, to not be hurt again. And gosh, how I ached for her. Her journey towards loving and accepting all the dark and broken parts of herself showed just how truly strong she is and I loved that so much.
Her romance with Notus was swoon-worthy. So much tension and heartache, so many missed opportunities and blocks in their path to each other. But their love shone through even when they wished it wouldn’t, and it was stronger than everything standing in their path.
I loved the nods to both Sleeping Beauty and Theseus and the Minotaur, the things borrowed and woven into this story were really lovingly and cleverly written. I especially loved the labyrinth and everything that happened there. Also the way music was present throughout this tale was lovely, too. I loved this story more and more the further in I got.
If you’ve not read this series then I highly recommend you do.
