There was something impossible about his beauty. He suited the sunset, as if he was part of the light that was slipping from the world. Will thought, The land would be cold and dark if you were gone. Seeing him now, Will felt lost forever to the knowledge that James was all he had wanted in his past life, and could never possess in this one. 

Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. This was so good. SO GOOD.

i very rarely read fantasy books, but i’m so glad i read this series, it was incredible. i love morally grey characters and complicated hero/villain dynamics. 
all i gotta say is, will deserves the world, cyprian needs to be throttled and james should get a fckin break after carrying this series on his back. thank you

So good, that end should be illegal, but so good. I’ve never read a book with the central theme of this book: trying not to become the evil curse you were born to. And it’s done so excellently. The betrayal and the heartache of it all. They’re all so young too that everyone’s choice make sense, but still hurt. 

Fantasy, Found Family
