Wowza, from Caraval to this series I absolutely love the way Stephanie Garber writes. I read this book in a day and the entire back half had me pacing it was so action-packed. Also love a good slow burn.

It’s been 2 years since I was back in the Magnificent North… and what a warm welcome back!

I start to tear up whenever I think about this book. I am CHANGED! This was absolutely beautiful. This book was like walking into a storybook from my childhood. I couldn’t love this book more.

I remember loving Evangeline in the first book but I absolutely adored her in this one. All she wants is a happy ending and I genuinely admire her so so much. She never gives up, but she also never sacrifices her morals and her beliefs in pursuit of her happiness and that was amazing to see.

Jacks is one of my favorite characters I’ve ever read. In OUABH he was so shrouded in mystery and it was difficult to see the truth from a trick. But he shined so so bright in this book. I really enjoyed his character before, but you get to know him with so much more depth and it’s so heartbreaking, but also beautiful.

This was one of the easiest 5 stars I’ve ever given and I have no doubts about it. If someone ever ask me about this book I’ll say that there is nothing of equal value to me.
