This book was fucking immaculate. Wow. There was literally not a moment of boredom. It wasn’t as if too much was happening unnecessarily, it all made sense and I loved it. 

I normally don’t like fantasy written in first person but Elizabeth Lim’s writing is so beautiful and the way she writes her books is amazing. Normally I won’t see much characterization through first person, the same goes for world building, but Elizabeth Lim writes in a way that you can see each characters individuality through the main character. I felt so connected to each side side character. Kiki is my favvv 😌 so much character and sass for a paper bird haha.

I loved finding the little Easter eggs that’s linked to ‘spin the dawn’, I didn’t realize it was in the same world. I also knew nothing about ‘the six swans’ which was the fairytale that’s this books was inspired by so I went into this book knowing nothing and I loved every second of it. It was a journey.

I CANNOT wait for the second book😭 
I can’t wait to see what the second book will hold omg I’m so excited.
