Apparently when I originally read this I liked it enough to get the whole box set so I guess it just aged badly in my mind. (Still on the 2nd book rn btw). I liked some of the characters and I didn’t mind the writing. I easily got through the book which was nice. It just felt so tik-tok scenario as a book, Y’know? Which isn’t necessarily bad but not my favorite.

Beautiful prose. Exciting story. Interesting characters. Some really good twists. Looking forward to the next one in this series.

I really liked this book. It's been a long time since a book as had me questioning what I thought would happen.

I started a reading frenzy since the pandemic started. One of my favorite books in the past was the Night Circus. I thought it would be hard to find another book that I liked as much. Then the Caraval series came and it was good and mesmerized me, although some of damsel in distress moments kind of irked me a bit. And now this series came along! I have to say this had a lot of the elements I loved about Night Circus. True internal conflicts, gray blurred lines. I felt so much of the characters struggles with their decisions and consequences. I also love that there are some strong female characters who don’t need a male to ”save” her.
