I’m not sure what was in the pages of these books but it was ADDICTING. 

I need say I get it. I get why everyone is obsessed with The Crimson Moth. I can say, I am too now! 

I didn’t realize how much I missed YA romantasy. There is something so whimsical and charming about the writing in them that I missed so much! This duology took my back to my roots. It made me feel that clench in my heart and chest the way I did when I was 15! 

While I enjoyed the flow and pace of book one a little more, the tension between Rune and Gideon mixed with the never a dull moment plot, kept this book fun and exciting. 

Despite not being wholly original or unpredictable, I was just so heat poundingly possessed by Rune and Gideon I could not look away and devoured both books in 2 days! Ahhhh! 

Rune, my baby girl, has my total heart. Her character was amazing. She wasn’t the classic snarky, anti-girly girl fantasy FMC. She had a soft, feminine side she embraced, she has women close to her that she loved and fought and would die for. At the same time she was badass and independent and brave! 

Gideon, oh Gideon. How I hated and loved you so much! This was a true enemies to lovers and Gideon really tested my will and patience! I wanted to slap him so many times and say YOU IDIOT NOT ALL WITCHES ARE EVIL! And I did really want him to grovel a bit after book 1. Still, he has some of the best lines in this book and he made me love him despite it all 😭

Honestly, I think this book had enough plot and complex characters and politics to make this into a trilogy. But, I am satisfied so we’ll leave it at that. 

I will miss Rune and Gideon so much!
