Thank you to NetGalley for my copy in exchange for my honest review!
THISSSSSSSSSSSSSS BOOK RIGHT HERE. I’m a lover of Anthologies because you get a little bit of something with every chapter. They’re jaw dropping, twisted, and mind numbingly charged. The science fiction and folklore-esq vibes he weaves in with the thrilling horror are beautiful and lead to a fantastic piece of work. I would go on about my particular favorites but I think that would take too much space! I’ll definitely be rereading this in October when it comes out!

This book had a ton of potential and the first two parts definitely lived up to the hype, I got IT vibes with the kids vs the evil in the world. I don’t think I particularly liked the ending but it was short, quick, and fun. If you’d like to try out horror I think this would be enjoyable and easy to understand!

A psychological thriller to keep you continuously guessing during the 2nd half of the book. So much of this had the bones of a great thriller and the twist kept you turning for more. The ending wasn’t exactly what I expected it to be, neither good nor bad. I’m not sure I can say I LOVED the way it ended but it didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment. It’s important to tackle mental health in an illuminating way and I think the author did a superb job in doing so.

A fantastically written piece of thought provoking, chill sending, legends. It introduces us to so many unknowns and sends us down a path of no return. The subject matter at hand important and perfect for this time of year!

I’ve been waiting to read a book like this for so long. It was exactly what I was searching for. The authors world building is next level and has us immediately immersed. Classifying herself as Romantasy is the best move considering I’d refer to her as the Queen of Romantasy anytime someone asks. The characters, for me, were immediately like-able. You feel a sense of protectiveness for them as you start to understand them. Which can be a hard thing to accomplish but Elsie Quail makes it seem easy.
Forced proximity and fated mates are two of my FAVORITES and this doesn’t disappoint plus the sisterly love is so refreshing to read. The arranged marriage Astelle is trying to escape gives the story its dark underbelly and high stakes plot! Which makes this a fast but deeply rich read. If I had been able, this would have been absorbed in a day! But I took it slow to fully grasp every beautiful word.
Thank you so much to the author for my arc copy! I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this all the way through and I can’t wait to see what else you come up with! READ THIS!!!

This glorious space odyssey of a story gave us every dystopian craving we needed. Right off the bat I loved the characters we were introduced to and it was fun figuring out exactly where they belonged and what parts they’d play. I’ll have to say I was surprised with a twist the author gives us but it equally added to the story and makes you root for the cause! The artwork sent by our sweet author is stunning and captures exactly what I pictured.
