BRUH. THIS IS WHAT I WANT IN A ROMANTASY. ALL OF THIS. 

I don’t know what it is about Rebecca’s and their chokehold on fantasy books, but alas - I am benefiting so I won’t be mad. Like. 

The characters. The story telling. THE WRITING. Bring back good fantasy writers PLEASE. Rebecca has some insanely beautiful lines throughout this novel and while she wasn’t writing super mysteriously, and there were some predictable things, I still found myself enthralled and kept in the story. These days I’m just HOPING an author will keep with a story without trying to do too much and lose sight of their characters and narration. 

I just. I ATE THIS BOOK UP purely because of the writing and the characters and the depth of their development from main to supporting. Chefs. Motherfucking. Kiss. I WAS CRYING ON A PLANE BC OF THIS BOOK. Just - yes. Give me book two. NEOW.
