Ok no one can convince me that this was NOT partially inspired by Black Butler... 

Margaret Rogerson's unparalleled atmospheric and immersive writing makes this book the perfect read for this time of the year: early winter!
I adored her writing in Enchantments of Raven and that's why i read this book. Although unfortunately, i didn't like it as much as the previous book. 
Too detailed descriptions of the battles had me losing interest. By midpoint i was skimming and also struggling to finish the book. 

My favorite thing about this book was how both the main characters were written with their age in mind (Something that is usually neglected in majority YAs). Both truly felt lile 17-18 y/o. 

critique on chapter 25: tell me you never had/seen a panic attack without telling me you never had/seen a panic attack (𝙗𝙪𝙩 on the positive side, it was way better written than any other YA books I've read so far)
