I really enjoyed One Dark Window! I loved the magic system, the lore and how it was fed to us via the cards before every chapter and Elspeth being obsessed with Blunder’s only textbook 🤣. Loved the characters and the romance. You could truly feel the hate turned loved in this. I’m excited to see where book 2 is going to go after that ending. I only marked it down by a little bit because there were plot reveals that were weirdly revealed. Like Elspeth would have half a thought about some huge plot point and then reveal the whole point in the next chapter.
