4.5 sapphic stars

this was damn near everything i wanted in a sapphic romance! Her Spell That Binds Me managed to do everything that i hoped [b:The Honey Witch|196726166|The Honey Witch|Sydney J.

there was still something missing, i can't quite put my finger on it, idk if i wanted a slower burn, or if the romance felt too intense too fast once it finally got going, but nevertheless, iona and ariadne were delightful characters and the magic system and world building were pretty cool.

all in all, a high quality read.
