I thought the opening of the story from the POV of a door bell was just genius and I was immediately hooked.

I loved the writing style, it was magical and whimsical and so easy to follow in my opinion. I was not expecting the fairytales vibes mixed with humor and I was pleasantly surprised. The 400 pages / 10 hours completely flew by! Can't wait to see where this story goes.

I loved that book, the universe is easy to understand, the plot, characters are awesome. This is a good romantasy, I can't wait to read the next book. Hopefully it will be as great as this one. 
The world building is really cute and cozy in its own way. It seems beautiful, at least in my head.
This is a good choice for people coming from romance to fantasy. It's accessible to everybody. Maybe it was a little harder to understand the magic system at first, that might be because I haven't read the Caraval first, but when we start a separate series we either make sure that the magic system is understandable or we explain it a bit better. Anyways it doesn't prevent you from understanding and following the plot.
I had a blast reading it!

It's a beautifully broken fairytale. I knew once things were going so well halfway in that it could only get worse. I sobbed a lot. Brilliant job.

Honestly was expecting a predictable story, but it genuinely kept me guessing! It was a different read than I expected and felt unique enough which is hard in fantasy! I enjoyed it.
