what a page-turner! the world building had me worried in the first half, but it quickly began to make sense and now I’m INVESTED.
I also just love a main char that is inhabited by a morally ambiguous entity. Venom, Vespertine,… this is my jam
the romance was just enough and honestly I didn’t expect to like ye olde fake dating so much, even if it was a speedrun
so glad I bought the next one already

Gothic, mystical, yet darkly cozy.
the romance was cute but definitely needed more fleshing out as everything happened within the span of a couple weeks.
the worldbuilding! yes ma’am, I hope that in the next book the world kinda opens up a bit more but with the way this book ended I don’t think we’re going very far.

I really enjoyed the magic system in this book, it is something completely different than any other book I have read. I appreciated that there were consequences to using magic, and it wasn't just a free for all. I wanted more world building. We know a few things about Blunder, but not much.
As always, I wish this had been dual POV. I really wanted to get into Ravyns head so that I could better understand him. He is not what you expect him to be. As the Captain, you expect him to be brutal and harsh, but he is quite the opposite. Elspeth a strong and intelligent woman who has had to fight to keep her secret and stay alive for the last 11 years. Yet, she is also kind of a boring character, her banter with Nightmare is the more interesting part of her.
I really want more background on Nightmare, I find him very intriguing and the most interesting character in the book. I hope that we get more of his story in the second book. Is it weird that I wanted Elspeth to fall in love with him...?
Tropes: fantasy, magic, slow burn, Found family, forced proximity
Graphic: Death and Misogyny
Moderate: Child death
Minor: Sexual content
