Fantasy at it’s best with a wonderful fmc who is as the author describes “bi-furious” and it’s the absolute perfect description for Aemyra.

The book has so much of Scotland in it and truly gave me a sense of the country I miss so much.

Even though I loved the characters I wished some of them were fleshed out a bit better, especially Adarian who falls a bit flat imo.

All in all a great read and I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

Grief hits like a mf when it comes out of nowhere when so much life is happening at the same time and this book encapsulates it beautifully.

I absolutely flew through this books and genuinely enjoyed reading it. But it fell a but flat for me on some of the dead parent parts, I feel like that could’ve been done so much better and more fleshed out than it was. I get that January was still very much grieving the loss but it felt like a subplot at times where it definitely isn’t supposed to be a subplot.

Also wanted more beach, how do you call this beach read and then barely have the beach in it?! (I know that’s kinda maybe the point but I still wanted more)

A little predictable but they way it’s written makes you surprised none the less about how and why everything went down.

Great read, now on to watch the show!

Overall I did enjoy this book but it felt really rushed by the way it’s structured. The constant switching of pov between matteo and rufus was really annoying at times but I did like what we got to know both of their minds.

The way the author talks about death differently through each pov feels very real but also like a disconnect. I also don’t know why they feel this need to push almost every pov into a love connection.

I don’t know if I would pick up the next book in the series but it’s definitely intriguing :)

Have been intrigued to read this since attending a reading on this book last year in Edinburgh and it did not disappoint me at all. The storytelling puts you right in Giulia’s mind and of the other characters as-well, and trully makes you try to understand them. The writing sometimes kept going to long but other than that I truly enjoyed this book!
