The good:
Beautiful descriptive writing that made me feel like I could feel Saoirse's breeze. It was so wonderful to feel the warmth of a small tea shop, tieing bundles and letting them dry. The magic felt so ethereal and just a small part of the environment, it was great.
The bad:
The whole dang story. I hated the romance, it was incredibly unbelievable. I found most of the perspectives other than Emery's and maybe August's completely unnecessary. I really didn't enjoy the structure of this story, every "twist" felt like clickbait to get me to the final reveal. Which by the way, was majorly disappointing.
Overall: It's fine. It was a quick read that had its fun moment. I ultimately would never read this again or recommend it really.
