this was literally the sweetest, cutest, and most adorable novella ever! i absolutely loved every second of it!
the illustrations were so so beautiful! i couldn’t stop admiring them!
ᝰ <b>plot</b> ⊹.˚
for such a short book the plot was very well developed and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. i loved the mystery element! it was so well executed!
ᝰ <b>couples</b> ⊹.˚
⭒<i> <u>Scarlett/Julian</u>, </i>my favorite couple from this series, ladies and gentlemen! they’re everything to me. their relationship is so cute, you can really tell they love each other. Julian is the definition of a green flag MMC.
⭒<i> <u>Tella/Legend</u>, </i>despite my dislike of them in the “Caraval” series, i loved them in this novella. their relationship was so cute and the mystery and game element that was implemented just made everything so much better. it was so worth it so see Legend say <i>you know what</i>.
