This is one of the most gorgeous reads, I've read this year so  far. Roshani always takes me traveling with each book. She had me with the book right away when it was in Paris. This was definitely more haunting and adult than her other reads, but dang!

If you love The Starless Sea and Addie Larue with the mythology and storytelling you will adore this. This had so much storytelling, mythology, magical realism, with being tangled in love, all interwoven into one story. Seeing the tales and truths woven in different ways.

This tapestry is so gorgeous with the mystery it has you wrapped in to question whose truth is real which world is real. THe narrators of the audiobook made it even more hypnotic. Definitely need my own copy asap and will be looking into the myths that were told that I wasn't familiar with before reading.
