I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and honestly review an advanced reader’s copy of this book.

I maybe didn’t have that much faith in this when I started it. This is my I’m-sorry-I-was-wrong-Review.
I really enjoyed the setting and the world building of this. I kind of went in expecting a classic fantasy world in like a medieval setting; but this story actually takes place far in an apocalyptic future; after a major incident, within the fallout. I found that very refreshing to read. The world building was gradual, but I never felt too lost or confused to the point of frustration.

The relationship between the two leads was a medium-slow-burn; I liked that it took most the book for Orpheus to understand that he wasn’t reading things correctly, I like that their relationship wasn’t sudden even when Orpheus started to realise what his feelings were.

This was cute. I really liked it. I also like that it’s a standalone; no threads left hanging, everything wrapped up. What a fantastic debut.
