*I got this book form the publisher for my honest thoughts*

I really did enjoy this read. I really loved the time period of this read and all the talk about alchemy and it was fast pace novel at the start. I really liked all the different setting that was featured in this book. I thought the end of this book has some pacing issues and felt it was very rushed at points. I did really liked the side characters in this read. I also really liked how this book tackled some harder elements like addiction to magic. That is element of books that I really enjoyed. I also really liked Bee as a character and one character i simply adored. If you are looking for heavy romance plot, this may not be the read for you but i have hope for more romance in book 2. A very fun read and one that has several spooky setting perfectly for the fall.
