Best (or Worst) Moments: 

The best moment of this book is definitely the ending there’s a few twists in the last 200 pages that really make the book a 5-star for me. The way this book delves into relationships both intimate and platonic is really beautiful. 

Was this Book What I Expected?: 

This book was better than I expected it was emotional, and sexy and the magic system building was great (though I would of liked even more detail, but I know that isn’t for everyone). 

Review: 

Overall this book was great it talked through getting over a heartbreak that made you doubt yourself and your capabilities, it talks through friendship and love and how to reconnect with parents you’ve distanced yourself from. But it also includes romance and spice that break up the book and also the complicity of romantic relationships when trying to balance them with long-distance and work and other complicated feelings that are holding you back. 

Things to Research Further: 

Nothing to research further but looking forward to the second book in the series!
