I found this book to be such a unique little gem of a fantasy romance. It feels slow paced in a way that isn’t boring but cozy and deliberate. It has a touch of mystery, little twists and breadcrumbs, and a very sweet romance with really cute banter and some sneaky lil semi-spicy moments. I loved reading from Isabel’s point of view, her character has such a quirky and funny POV but also brings a poetic and raw realness to grief, guilt, fear and loyalty. Between the amazing world building and the evocative writing I truly got lost in this book for a few days and felt like I was wandering around the Sanok Isles in the rain and a sweater. I just really loved this book, and with THAT ending I will definitely be back for more.
