Thank you to Orbit for the chance to read this early!
First off: wow. A masterpiece from start to finish. By page 4 I could tell I was going to like it, by 40% in a was completely in love.
This book strikes the perfect balance between serious/dark, and comedic relief.
If you love a dark, mysterious and rich fantasy world: this is for you. Absolutely no insta-love to be found here, this is firmly a slow burn with Uber amounts of longing!
Six's relationship with her gargoyle companion was the giggle we needed so often. A fierce yet silly companion. 👌
Just like One Dark Window, I am so impressed with the lore she has built in this book. It's unique, well explained, and fits in the world perfectly. (I can't say much more without spoiling things)
I'm not super please to see this marketed as "romantasy", I find that female authors works keep being pushed into this label if there's any romance in their books.. and men write books with equal amounts of romance and they're marketed as high fantasy.
This is most definitely a fantasy romance, heavy on the fantasy, with enough romance to give a nice reprieve from the darkness of the story itself.
