This book could have been so much shorter.
The only thing that was greek mythology inspired was mentioning names and events from greek mythology. The story itself did not feel like any sort of retelling to me. and the mentions of Mathias’ sister Hekate felt so random, especially the first time she was mentioned which was out of nowhere. I don’t think the writing was well done and I just couldn’t wait for it to be over. I didn’t connect with this book at all.

This book has been described as a cozy cottagecore fantasy, and it was definitely that. Clara overcame insecurity and shame to find confidence and self-love with the help of her childhood friend, someone who only wanted to help people but made mistakes and was punished instead. I’d love to be able to read on about Clara and Xavier’s endeavors, if they could change the council, how they succeed in helping people with melancholy. A lovely, heartbreaking, and heartwarming book.
