beccacarl's review against another edition

Poor world building/confused on where the story was set (earth or fictional world), magic needed more explaining, plot points were predictable, and couldn't keep the characters straight.

I love Anna-Marie McLemore's writing and storytelling so much I would like them to send me their grocery-lists, please.

Seriously this writing is so beautiful and atmospheric and transcendent and mysterious. I loved this story so much and the way the five Nomeolvides cousins were exactly like sisters in all the ways that counted. I loved the family curse and how that turned out in the end. I absoluely loved Fel and Bay. They were both amazing characters that fit so well in the story and just made me so happy. This book is magic.
