Touch her and you die but make it lesbians! That's what I'm talking about!
This book definitely understands how to create hot-burning chemistry between two characters. I was hooked on Aurora and Evie since the beginning of the novel and my interest and love for these characters only grew through every chapter. To me this is exactly how you formulate a slow-burn romance. It had a perfect balance of sexual tension, with wholesome moments that allowed us to understand thoroughly the love Aurora and Evie had for each other. And at the end, it left kicking me my feet and giggling because they truly deserve the world and each other.
As some other reviews have pointed out there were often times when the book dragged and felt like it was trying to fit more than what was needed into each chapter, and it would've benefited from more editing so it could better focus on what it wanted to at each checkpoint, but I did feel like the story concluded the plot points nicely at the end. The world was so intricate and complex and sometimes it felt like we were just being thrown information, but I was so invested in the characters themselves that the world-building only ever felt distracting and never where I was left with more questions.
Overall incredible romance that I am desperate for more of. 4.5 stars 🌟
