Strong character development: Yes

Two self sacrificing people spend an entire book sacrificing themselves for each other 🫠

But in all seriousness, I LOVED this! The vibes were absolutely immaculate - think Bridgerton meets Ghibli with a side of magic and political unrest. Oh, and SO. MUCH. YEARNING. I just love it.

Niamh is such a wonderful character, and I resonated with her so much. She is someone who has spent her entire life making herself smaller or pushing aside her needs for other people. She loves fiercely, and Kit is such a great match for her. They complemented each other so well, and I loved the way they challenged the other and their viewpoints. Plus, y’all know I love a grumpy x sunshine pairing and Allison Saft does it so so well!

Along with Niamh and Kit, the side characters were really great! Sinclair and Rosa were such  intriguing and complex additions to the story, and I felt like they really rounded things out. 

The audiobook narrator was also phenomenal - she brought so much life to all of the characters, and her accents were fantastic. I really loved listening to this story!
