This was a good read, but it lacked a little of the spark that made me love Half a Soul. I still really enjoy her writing. I liked Winnie a lot, but it felt like it took too long to get to know Quincy. I do recommend reading the other books before this one as previous characters & events are heavily referenced.

I really enjoy the way Olivia Atwater writes; I loved her regency faerie tale books, and enjoyed coming back into that world. This is darker in tone than the regency ones, but honestly I enjoyed that as well. Looking forward to more of these!

lovely writing, plot, and characters as usual! loved when the characters from the previous books were mentioned (except in the end!! i was sad) but i feel like it might have been a bit too dark for me. I am incredibly sensitive and also struggle with even slightly complex fantasy elements and because this one was more heavy on that i struggled a bit, so i’ll stick to the cozier books in the universe :) still a great reading experience as always

It was alright. I liked the main character and the general creepy vibes of the manor and the faerie dream world. I did get confused by the plot at times though, and I wish the secondary characters had been fleshed out more.

After the previous series of the author grew rather stale, this was a very refreshing breath of fresh air.
