A review by bmsims26
A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope by K.M. Moronova

5.0

After I have stopped crying and can put my thoughts into words:

I really did not have high expectations for this - with it being a paranormal romance AND me just not thinking anything could live up to the fabric of our souls. I could not have been more wrong. This writing was absolutely beautiful, to where you’re thinking “how does a writer even come up with this?”.. the quotes themselves were just everything. I really thought I was not going to cry (I made it so far into the book without it!!), but as soon as I hit the last 4ish chapters… the watergates were open and I could not stop. This book was heartbreaking. It was beautiful. It mended parts of my soul I didn’t realize were still hurting from TFOOS. Please check TWs and read this. Please.

Lastly, I do feel like this is only a 4 star read for me, but any book that makes me sob this uncontrollably gets an extra star.

I’ll write a review later I am crying too hard currently
