Second read:

Infinity stars still. ♾️

Is there any way I will ever get over this book? No! Absolutely not!

There’s just something about this book that really like gets to me? Makes me feel things? And just is so great.

I’ve seen quite a bit of reviews where people feel as if the beginning is rough to get through, but I surprisingly did not have that issue??? Maybe I was just reading and not comprehending but NO I think it was easy for me to get through.

Maybe because I was reading it with the hardcover along with the audiobook? (10/10 recommend this method btw)

Idk, but this book just makes me so full. It fills a part of my heart that felt empty before.

First and foremost, this is about war and death and all things vile. It’s easy to see that Kesath is the enemy and the Night Empire is bad. They are wiping everyone out and that’s that.

Nenavar is like the youngest child, not wanting to get involved in the affairs of the oldest and middle child fights, in my opinion. Switzerland if that’s a better comparison.

This book deals with some heavy topics, but also has some romance interlaced in it as well, which I enjoyed.

It’s the sort of romance that rips your heart out and makes you want to sob, but romance all the same.

The relationship between Talasyn and Alaric is very strained, as expected when fighting on opposite sides of war. They represent everything they’ve been raised to hate.

However, like it’s said in the book,

Hate is a kind of passion, is it not?

LAUGHING SO HARD. Laughing SO hard because of Talasyns reaction after that was said. 

Talasyn is so funny to me. Her sense of humor is just like top tier. The banter between her and Alaric made me laugh OUT LOUD multiple times. 

I would love to see more of the fantasy elements in the next book, but also not complaining if it’s more fantasy ROMANCE than romantic FANTASY. 

CANT WAIT TO START AMR BR tmr!!!! SO READY!!!! ❤️🖤
 
First read:  INFINITY STARS ✮

YALL!!!!! this book was my entire life and will continue to be my entire life as long as i live. the paperback needs to come out faster so i can buy it and mark it tf up!!!!!!

i read this in january but im always late writing reviews (i was withholding it during global strike week).

this book is truly the epitome of slow burn romantasy and it hurts my heart. the ending had me yearning for the second book like?!?!?!? my brain can’t comprehend it and I’m terrified.

ALSO CAN WE JUST TALK AB WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME TALASYN IS? like can we pls?? she’s the loml.

Although this book is pretty long, I felt myself wishing it was longer when it ended. I have a love-hate relationship with slowburns mostly because I'm impatient and just want the characters to get together already, but in this case, I was happy with the very very very VERY slowburn. It made sense with the story very well. 

ok this is very disorganized but i cried laughed giggled screamed so i loved this very much! add on that it’s a debut? WHATTTTTTT!!! Thea Guanzon, you have my heart!

bye bye
