Folklore? Check. Sapphic romance? Check. Murder mystery? Check. Political intrigue? Check. I could go on and on. This was such a interesting world built around these beautiful almost poetic fantasy features. I really enjoyed Lorelei, the main character, and her character depth. She felt so real and flawed but perfect at the same time. The romance in this was GORGEOUSLY written, I could picture this to poetry. Once again I’m here for academic rivals. You’ll see me every time too. I can say that I absolutely need a sequel right now and I will beg for the end of my days. The back drop for this was just immaculate.
