Things I liked: 
- The magic system was interesting and kept me intrigued. 
- The atmosphere/settings were really well written - both creepy and comforting. 
- The writing/language was beautiful and vivid, I could clearly picture even some of the most dreamlike scenes. 

Things I didn’t like: 
- The characters weren’t very well fleshed out, the protagonists slightly more so than the bad guys who somehow managed to be morally grey and one dimensional at the same time. 
- The pacing of the book was not to my taste at all. There was climax after climax and it just kept going - The final 100 pages felt like a never-ending slog of action save for a brief, and what felt like very out of place, sex scene

I adored this! It's written absolutely beautifully with gorgeous imagery, and the ending is maybe my favourite I've read this year. I'd read more by Naomi Novik in a heartbeat

Overall, subpar. The magic and world building are far more interesting than any of the characters could ever dream of being, which is a shame because we don't get to see much of it. The premise was interesting, the plot was an actual plot, but it could have been fleshed out so much better if it only had a bit more time. The ending was a semi-refreshing subversion of the expected romance ending, but it felt a bit rushed. The romance part itself was, in my opinion, wholly unnecessary and a bit unpleasant. The main romantic interest is an immortal while our mc is... 17-ish. Not to mention the attempted rape scene.
