I cannot put into words how I love this duology. I laughed, I cried. I was at the edge while reading this, wanting to find out what happened next. I couldn't have asked for a better end.

I will be thinking about this book for weeks to come. I just know it. This was the best book to open 2024

Fuuuuuuuu...I was not prepared for how gutted I would be after finishing this book.

This duology was so freakin good and I will definitely be rereading again and again. 🥰

Also, how DARE you Rachel...there were people in book one I decided to never like and you just had to redeem them in my eyes didn't you?!

Anyways, if you've yet to read this PHENOMENAL duology...please please please dive into this magical world that has found family, fighting for what's right, love, a deep and connected history, and so much more 😭

This duology is definitely in my top 5 reads of the year. So captivating. The characters are so lovable and have you rooting for them even through their mistakes. The magic system is so intriguing and I loved learning more and more as the story progressed.
