I really enjoyed this book! I found the magic system very interesting and unique, as I've never seen a magic system built on the seven deadly sins and incorporate fae! The world building was easy to follow, and didn't make me feel confused at all. The writing style felt a little underdeveloped to me, and I think the pace could have gone a bit faster, as to include more major plot points into the length of the book. 

I loved the chemistry between Imogen and Nora! By the end of the book, I could clearly see their love and care for each other. Their relationship development felt so appropriate for their characters, and I loved that they communicated!!! 

Overall, I would recommend this to someone who wants to read about a light fantasy world, with romance and loveable morally grey characters.
