FANTASTIC. BEAUTIFUL. MAGICAL. THRILLING. Truly one of the most fantastic books I think I’ve ever read. The only reason it’s not a full 5 stars is because the romance didn’t end the way I wanted to. I’d explain more, but that would make this review a lot longer than it needs to be lol. But ANYWAYS, truly one of the best books ever written, in my opinion. This was also a buddy read with my sister and we were both so audible in our reactions because it was literally just that good!!!

Content Warnings

Moderate: Animal death, Blood, and Death of parent

Minor: Pedophilia

much of this book takes place in the woods during intense travels which means the characters have to feed on whatever animals are caught and killed by their doing. It’s not super graphic and it’s done humanely, but if that’s something that would upset you, then be wary of that.
