3.25⭐️s rounded down for Goodreads
Spells, Strings, and Forgotten Things was cozy-adjacent, cute, and a bit spicey. I love a witchy read. We've got a Rivals to Lovers trope, a sister dynamic (is this where the trilogy comes in, following each sister?) that throws down fun nods to greek mythology. The memory magic felt original and was a favorite plot point for me, along with Lucien.
However, there were approximately 3 too many "Shadow Daddy" remarks for my taste (I have a delicate constitution when it comes to cringe nicknames, regardless of sarcasm😬). I also felt like there could have been more 'Show' versus 'Tell' when it came to the actiony bits.
Overall, I definitely had a good time and will continue with the series.
Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine | Dell for the eARC!
