I received this book via Sourcebooks Fire (on NetGalley) in exchange for an honest review.
What a refreshing story! Every time I opened it I felt relaxed and comforting. It really had great comfort reading vibes! This is the type of story I could’ve just kept reading and reading! Rachel Griffin’s writing style is fantastic! It reads smoothly and worded so nicely. She gives great descriptions to describe the setting, characters, and the vibes of the story well. I really enjoyed how modern times this book was with that fantasy/magical twist. Following Iris and Pike on their hike to find the owl was never dull. Every chapter kept me wanting to keep going!
The magic of this book was fascinating. I really liked how it was very close to nature and allowed Iris to communicate with the animals. The description Iris gave to Pike of how the magic works that they can’t create something only use what nature has given, honestly was such a fresh way to view magic in YA. Usually we always see magical elements of being able to fix any issue with it. I really enjoyed this being more natural at heart and that idea they only can do specific things with magic. And how their magic isn’t all powerful where with a snap of a finger everything is better.
Iris Gray and Pike Alder immediately became two fictional characters I adore. Each of them brought such a wonderful energy to the story. I loved reading about them going from “hating each other” to learning who each other really are. This part of the story was definitely my favorite. They both disliked each other for their own reasons, but never really knew each other. I like that this journey allowed the two of them to realize I don’t actually hate you, I just didn't know a single thing about you. Their banter and growing friendship into a relationship blossomed so wonderfully. I just could not wait for them to finally admit how they felt! The some what slow-burn was so good!
