Someone watched Ted Lasso and wanted to romance Roy Kent. It was cute, but I just couldn't connect with the characters like I wanted.

I really enjoyed it. It did get slow, but what got me was the separate PoVs taking too long to come together.

Heartwarming, cozy, and somehow heartbreaking all at once. Definitely a good read.

It's so much fun and i adore these characters so much but the book gets too info dump-y. We don't need to know all these details.

The story was so good and dark and creepy. The characters were amazing. But the inclusion of Judaism felt odd in this completely fantasy world, i say, as a Jewish person. It should have been an allegory. Still. Wow. Loved this!

I hate how this author writes. Everything is written like a script, not a book. And this sudden and confusing world building? Why was none of this introduced in book 1? It's a good plot but executed so poorly.

It would be a 3.5 but I'm bumping it up to a 4 because I really enjoy Elise Bryant's writing. This was so strong, but the reveal just wasn't strong enough. It felt like it was out of left field. It was disappointing. However, great characters and i really wanna read more.

The plot is pretty good and interesting but the ending was pretty weak. I think this series was weakened by the fact there wwere too many PoVs. If there were just one, or two, it would've better.

This story isn't sticking with me, but it's still a fun read. I really adore the characters and the journey they're on.
