This was a wonderful book, one I am likely to pick up again. It has a wonderful combination of plot building and character building. As someone who greatly appreciates focus on developing the relationships between characters, this book felt slightly lacking but the intrigue of the plot mostly makes up for that. Would definitely recommend.

I thought the pacing was so bizarre - let’s have four paragraphs describing the clothing he’s wearing and one paragraph describing a major plot point - and often would break pace to explain something to the audience during important dialogues, so when you real the reply you have to read back to the question again. 

The intro was so painfully wordy and over descriptive of nothing happening I almost frogged it, but truly had to reread sections multiple times to stay focused long enough to put meaning to the words. Thankfully the wordiness subdues and becomes more readable.

first things first, HUGE TRIGGER WARNINGS, please take them seriously because the scenes are very descriptive. 

I do overall think the authors note is truthful in that it is a story of healing at the end of it all. it’s rough that the triggering content happens so soon into the book before you’ve really gotten the chance to get into the story/characters, so I can def see how it would put someone off from continuing the book. 

overall, though, I had a lot of fun reading this! I found the characters likeable and the casual diversity very refreshing. The writing felt a bit like a debut novel at times, and the pacing was overall a bit awkward (a 500+ page book taking place over a week? like 10000 things happen every single day), but tbh I had a really good time with it because I love gay drama!

I thought I would love this book because of the slow-burning fake marriage love story and magical world, but found the ending was incredibly disappointing. The mystery was interesting at first but in the end I was questioning the villain’s motives. I felt like the resolution was incredibly rushed at the end, making it really unsatisfying.
