I really enjoyed this book -- the setting and lore felt very rich and fleshed out, which allowed me to become invested not only in the characters, but in the world itself!
There were a few moments that where tropy
enemies to lovers, and drama that could have been entirely avoided if characters could just TALK TO EACHOTHER!!!

But even they felt justified for the most part.
I'm looking forward to reading the second!

This was a unique (at least to me) read that was gothic, mysterious and a fun read! It starts off slowly but really picks up about halfway through and got more interesting. The ending wasn’t what I expected and I’m looking forward to book 2!

This one was good story telling and enjoyable to read, but I didn't really enjoy it enough to read the 2nd in the series. It does have amazing Gothic twisted fairy tale vibes, and I enjoyed the setting more than the characters themselves. 

The romance both contained some spicy scenes I wasn't expecting/didn't care about, and kind of fell flat.
