OH I HAD FUNNNNNNN
—

I had SO MUCH FUN with this! So many good twists, an agonizing romance, female friendships, fun world-building, so much to love!

I loved the magic and world-building; I haven’t had a fae story grip me as much as The Cruel Prince but this was a refreshing story. Ivy was funny and Emmett was swoony and they had some great banter. I think their relationship could be considered a bit insta-lovey but I don’t even care because I’m kinda trash for them. The shrimp hearts doodle got to me, man.

Also I really loved the relationship between the girls! When we got the first couple POVs from the others I was annoyed, but as the story progressed I enjoyed them. I loved seeing their bond strengthen and by the end I adored them all. EVEN FAITH! MAN I LOVE FAITH!!

I haven’t been this excited from a series opener in a good while. Can’t wait to see where the next book goes, seems like there’s a lot to unpack!
