I was bewitched by this story, this world and these characters.
This is my first Rebecca Ross book and I don’t think I can go back from here. I think I’m just completely sold and will now have to read everything she writes.
The world came to life so clearly in my mind. It was vivid and dark and gothically magical. The worldbuilding in terms of its history and the gods’ tales were so fascinating to read about that I cannot wait to continue uncovering their story in the second instalment.
The love story was tear-jerking, beautiful and frustrating. Everything that makes you think “this is truly the kind of love worthy of poetry”. I am absolutely obsessed with these divine rivals and am currently anxious to know more about how they go from where this book ends.
