❝ These are the times that scare her the most, the beginnings and endings: this is when the world is most unpredictable. ❞

Although it took me two weeks to finish this book, I still going to admit that I truly enjoyed reading this book. This sounds cliché but I’ll probably pick Bridget Collins’ book shortly.

Well— there are so many characters in this book, and even though there are many POVs from different characters, made it quite complicated and tricky to connect with any of the characters in this book, particularly. Because of that, I think one of the characters is not executed well. Not only were many characters that are hard to follow but I also thought this book was so slow, it just took me a long moment to get anywhere even tho I love how this book was so descriptive in every detail which I enjoyed. I believe, for some people this going to be a “boring” book but for those who love to read illustrative books with historical and dark academia as the main genre, this one is pretty fascinating and mesmerising.
