Not even gonna lie, I'm gonna need to read something light and happy to recover from this.
Overall I liked it, but the first half dragged on a lot and I personally prefer a bit more of plot in my reads. I get that Olivie intended to have the characters and their relationships be the plot itself but I'm not one who cares much for philosophical musings so I did get bored at times. I'm also not overly fond of how things turned out (not gonna give spoilers but yeah...i hoped for better for our six main characters).

This reads just like a studio Ghibli movie - dark yet whimsical with charming yet somewhat caricaturish characters. I really enjoyed it! I can't wait to read the next ones and find out more about Farouque's book and why it's so important to him. Also if Ophelia ever warms up to Thorn and forgives his misdeeds. Although, not gonna lie, I might drop the entire series if it becomes a love triangle story with Archibald 🙃

This was amazing and I don't think I've been this excited about a series since I was a teenager. I loved everything about it, but especially how complex the characters were (I love imperfect characters, there's a little bit of everything among the six...from insecure to cocky, anxious to self-assured, righteous to morally grey...there's a full scope of personalities and emotions going on that constantly keep evolving according to the circumstances they're put under...it was really delightful to read). I was also surprised at how unpredictable I found some turns of events to be...which - as someone who reads a lot - doesn't happen very often. I'm so glad I ignored other people's reviews and just trusted my gut on this. AND that the final book comes out this month so I can jump right into the second one and not have to wait an eternity to find out how it all ends once I'm done with that one too. Fingers crossed that the next ones are as good (or better)!

Well...this was...idek. It was still entertaining (partially because Joe Jameson is an incredible narrator) but the story was a bit all over the place. It felt like they kept having the same issues recycled over and over...like Luc would reassure Oliver of something and the next minute be having a mental breakdown over the same thing...it didn't make much sense to me. Also the ending felt a bit abrupt. I'll probably still read (listen to?) the sequel when it comes out though
