Thissss spoke to me on a WHOLE NEW LEVEL. I am always a complete sucker for Magical Realism and it never seems to disappoint me. I really love how fleshed out she makes her worlds and just so in depth the lore and setting can be. I really enjoyed Paige even with the chosen one trope coming in strong, I think a lot of people overlook it with just how far her character goes. The development is beautiful by end of book.

The side characters also make this story what it is, they’re lovable and mysterious yet enthralling to read about. Keep in mind this will mostly come across as YA in a lot of aspects and it’s dystopian fantasy that includes some slow burn romance!

I NEED TO READ THE NEXT ONE IMMEDIATELY. There’s something addicting about Samantha Shannon books
