I’ve had mixed luck with V. E Schwab books over the years but THIS...THIS!!! WAS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! THIS IS GOING STRAIGHT IN MY FAVOURITES SHELF

This was such a cool concept for a book! I really loved the world building in it and our 2 MC’s Kate and August (August my precious baby I love him so much), this whole book was just marvellous! It was really hard to put down! I kept wanting to read more and more and settled for a whole section a night to slow myself down. At first I was a little unsure but after the first 2 chapters or so I was hooked, it was so good!!

Learning about the different kinds of monsters and the world structure was super interesting. I lovedddd the plot just so much and the little hints of romance (I’m really glad there wasn’t a full on romance plot to this book and it kept focused on character development and the ongoing story instead of taking a side route) just made the book really entertaining, I got the little Romeo and Juliet hints without it being overpowering and it really made the story unique. How the story left off too was really intriguing, I wanna know more so badly!! I wanna know what happens next!!

Anyway I do ramble but August is my baby and I love him so much and I don’t want anything bad to happen to him ever omg...I ordered the next book which arrives tomorrow so hopefully I can start it before the end of the month because I want more!!
