teenage me would lose her mind over this book. overall it’s a lovely story of slow burn romance though sometimes it was so slow it felt very repetitive and it started to lose me 3/4 of the way through.
I enjoyed the historical fantasy fiction aspect and the descriptions were gorgeous if a little overused.
the navigations of grief/loneliness were very astute and felt very personal which did effect the structure/narratives in a way that was engaging and added another layer and kept me going as a reader.
