A Marvelous Light” By Freya Marske 
 
📕 Edition: Audiobook 
 
I had high hopes for this one, but sadly, it didn't cast the spell on me that it did on others. 🧙‍♂️ The story left me feeling somewhat adrift, struggling to find that elusive connection. I contemplated abandoning it, but there was a glimmer of hope that kept me going, and that was the 🌶️ that heated up around the halfway point. 
 
The world of magic, curses, and visions held potential, and the sizzling moments certainly added some heat to the narrative. However, the slow start made it challenging to maintain my interest. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I can't pinpoint exactly why it didn't resonate with me, but I'm not ready to dismiss it entirely. I'm placing it on my "try again later” shelf, hopeful that on a future attempt, I might uncover the marvel that others have found within its pages. 🌟📖
