part 1 of this book was a disappointment but i pushed through and it did get better in parts 2 & 3.

the interactions (arguments, flirting, banter, yearning, etc.) between eva and jacks saved it for me for sure.

i might continue this trilogy later on but i've heard some spoilers about

a possibly heartbreaking cliffhanger at the end of 2nd book and then 3rd book being by far the worst

?? so i'm in no rush and will get to it... someday... in the future... if im really bored...

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I am loving how this author is expanding on the world of the Caraval series. I think Evangeline more than the Dragna sisters and I think it’s because while she acts like a teenager and makes mistakes, she also tries to fix them in very heroic ways. She is flawed and young but I still see her strengths in this book. Her efforts to do the right thing made for an interesting story with lots of dynamics, and leads into the future books well. I also felt like I never knew what would happen next in the story. Lots of plot twists I didn’t see coming, which made for a fun and quick read. I’m so excited to continue reading this series!

The perfect flight companion :) it’s a quick read and I read it over a day with lots of downtime on a flight. Can’t wait for the next one!

I enjoyed this book a lot. Like a lot a lot. I don't like to admit it out loud but I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic and this fed into that so well. It's got everything I love, fantasy and fairytale and romance.
