I’m a little sad this is a stand-alone (to my knowledge atleast!) because omg do I wish it leaned more into the romance, went more in-depth with the plot and really spent more time on things because it felt a little rushed!  

I am however still rating 4* because queer rapunzel retelling with vampires is the coolest concept ever and I really enjoyed it!! I loved the lore and the different kinds of magic, the vampires, the whole bone wall thing was super cool and the forest too!! It just felt a bit surface level and a little rushed the further I got into it (like it was trying to get wrapped up asap! It needed another book imo, 5*’s if it would have been a duology and we got more depth!)
