Maybe I just like simple fantasies but this book was FUN. And kind of wild, lol. 

Violet is a fantastic morally gray character and I went from liking her to jot to rooting for her to not to feeling like she got what was coming to her to feeling bad for her. It was lovely. 

Also, I love Dante and Camilla. I adore when books have good side characters. Plus, the nonchalant take on sexuality throughout the book? Yes.
