Debut author what?! Jenny's coming out the jump with an absolute gem!
I'm obsessed. Period. The end.
There is not one character I do not like. The color magic system is so unique. Fae AND Vampires! A love triangle (possibly more why choose situation) that honestly has more maturity than I have seen, thus far. This is such a quick and immersive read too, I would have read this in one sitting if I could have. Morally Grey and Cinnamon Roll MMCs that are wonderful in so many ways.
Opal and her friends are all so relatable. The love and care they have for each other is so refreshing. Watching their journeys into figuring out themselves/power was really enjoyable.
There were a few scenes that moved a bit faster than I would of liked, but all in all I wasn't ready for this to be over! Highly recommend and I cannot wait for the rest of this series. Thank you so much Jenny for this ARC for a honest review.
-- Quotes --
"Not everything that is dark is meant to be menacing. Sometimes something that is dark is just different, and different can be beautiful."
"If kissing him was the spark that started everything in motion, our hands were what kindled the flame."
"Little Prism, You, whom I have already silently pledged a thousand of my lifetimes to protect."
"He's harder to kill this way .... I approve"
