i loved the aesthetic of every part of this book, but was a bit confused by the plot and the point of it all by the time i got to the end. the premise was definitely there and the characters are so interesting but i find myself asking “why?” still at the end. i am probably going to read the rest of this series, partially bc i want to know what happens and partially bc i heard the prequel series “Once Upon a Broken Heart” is better but that you are supposed to read it after Caravals books.
