“A library was a home to those who dreamt of better places.”

I'd like to thank Penguin Random House for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This book was filled with plot twists! I loved the action and I was surprised at every turn. The writing style was easy to follow, with a great balance of dialogue and character development. The magic system was intriguing and felt unique. Unfortunately, I was a bit confused with the world-building and would have liked more information at the beginning. However, I enjoyed watching the characters grow as the story progressed. I especially liked reading about Tamsin and her emotional journey towards learning to let people into her life. The found family aspect was perfect and the side characters were all intriguing. The romance was also exciting, with great banter. Fans of rivals to lovers with a twist will definitely like this one. The action-packed cliffhanger ending left me super excited for the sequel!
