Je sais pas du tout comment expliquer pourquoi mais c’est très vraiment beau et très touchant
Je vous conseille de lire les études de Nabokov sur La Métamorphose; ça m’a encore plus détruite, il y a vraiment des détails incroyables qu’on ne s’imagine pas (genre les ailes de Grégor mama)

So good !!!! Im not a big romance reader and especially not contemporary romance but I loved this.
A lovable main character (seriously I love Elsie so much), fun banter and romance, emotional character arc, just the right amount of independence despite the romance, amazing friendships, great and important insight into the inequalities of academia, really really liked this story :)

Ending was good and I did gasp but it took a while to pick up
My main problem with this book is just how much I didn’ care about the characters, I don’t know why but I just couldn’t get myself truly interested in anything happeningeven the romance - and God knows I like enemies to lovers
Still: read it pretty quickly, it was entertaining at times
Glad to be done with it, not sure if I will read the third bok

Very weird pacing and I couldn’t explain the plot if I tried BUT also really fun, nice found family, nice romance and cool magic system so I liked it !
Also loved the historical and anti colonial aspects of the story, as a French it did really push me to question our history more and perhaps see it in a more nuanced way

A fun, solid trilogy! The characters are wonderful, and the romance is really entertaining, the magic system is interesting in the settings are so whimsical and beautiful, really liked this as a whole.
My favourite book is still the first one because I really loved Edwin and Robin, but this one was also very good.
(Also has really great smut and banter :))
