I liked this book a lot more then I thought I would. It’s been sitting on my shelf for a long time and finally decided to pick it up. The ending had no right to make me cry like that. I loved the premise and the elves and magic system. Overall a good read!

A sweet story.
I would habe liked more of everything from a so-called 'new-adult fantasy'. More spice (0.5/5 bc we got a fade-to-black) and also more tension when it came to the secret unwinding since the secret did not really unwind but the female MC finds a book and literally does not even have to use her brain to connect the dots...unused potential.
I also have a problem with forgiving an abuser ans that being the thing the bigger person does bc she can see what lead to them behaving like this...no. If someone does not respect your boundaries anf forces you to do things against your will you do not have to be the "bigger person"...
