Listened to the audiobook and was quickly reminded why YA often isn’t for me—there’s just not enough depth. The main character, Maia, is incredibly naive and narrated in a whiny tone, and the enemies-to-lovers plot comes with a 500-year age gap 🤮. Bonus points, though, for the focus on sewing and fiber crafts, which was genuinely delightful.
