I love Aden and I’m terrified of Zaira. They’re perfect together (although deep down I still ship Aden and Vasic). One of my favourites of the series so far.

I’m not into competition/challenge/contest plots, whatever you want to call it, it feels too much like reality television for me which is not my jam. But Trehan is my kinda guy, he just wants to stay home and read. Bettina’s crazy for not immediately signing up to snuggle in the library.

I loved the discussions around wealth and power here. And also what a big idiot Mikhail is when it comes to his feelings. I’m a sucker for a hero who doesn’t think he can love but is clearly down so bad for the heroine.

I can’t believe it took me so long to read this. It’s amazing. Jess might be one of my favourite heroines of all time. She’s so into Sebastian and also so badass. I like how she keeps him on his toes but also really sees him and gives him the benefit of the doubt. So much happens in this book, and it’s well-paced and never feels long or overwhelming.
The one thing I didn’t care for here was how Sebastian’s physical appearance was described. The whole “black equals bad” thing feels gross even for the 90s.

Perfection. Absolute cosy magical perfection. Nobody does found family like Mandanna. This group of misfits has my entire heart. I want to move into Batty Inn immediately.

In the leadup to this book, I was really hoping Vasic and Aden would end up together, but if it couldn’t be Aden, I’m really happy with Ivy. She was so sweet with Vasic, and he was so protective and proud of her. I love how quickly he gives into his feelings for her, because there is plenty of external conflict to keep the story moving while these two are being adorable together. The series has a bit of a dip in the middle, but Singh is ending it really strong with these last few books.
