The ending is awesome. So inte esting how it all tied together. The book consisted of a few grammatical errors and weird phrasing that drew me out of the fantasy tho. The spice was low-key great.

Callie indeeds finds the mushroom, but also finds herself falling into a strange new world and on-top of the moral grey and disturbed Unseelie Prince.

WOW
I must say I was SCARED to read this book after the hype around it on booktok, but I am so glad I picked it up, this is my first 5 star read of 2024! It is slow to start but honestly what Fantasy book isn't, you have to build the story. 

What I liked
-Duel POVs
-Developing characters
-Easy to follow fantasy 
-Morally Grey MMC
-Strong willed FMC
-Plot twist 
-Adventure and Action Packed 
-Spicy
-Enemies to Lovers??
