This book is absolutely wonderful. I picked it up because I know it's low fantasy and I'm hoping to get more into fantasy soon but I was met with a wonderful world of found family, slowburn romance, and such fantastic imagery that I felt like I was there myself. After all the sad books I've been reading, this book put me back together - truly a new favorite.
Pros: I fell in love with all the characters - particularly Lucy, Talia, and Theodore, but all of them are amazing. The imagery is, as I said, fantastic. And the story is one that I needed to read - so wonderful.
Cons: It was a bit slow at times, which is unfortunate, because otherwise, amazing.
