 absolutely in love with the way June Hur writes; this book was gorgeous, and the characters were so well thought out. I love me a good murder mystery, too, and with the political intrigue and the palace setting, the story was so captivating, there were so many good moments that I could not pick a favorite quote or scene. I will be on the hunt for physical copies of this book.

"There is only you." His words caressed me, winding themselves around my soul. "There will only ever be you. I promise, Hyeon-ah." (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )づ♡
