It is a magical, mysterious story involving political intrigue and antisemitism with a revolting atmosphere. A storyline filled with coded characters that represent the Jewish and Hungarian mythology history that follows tighter and sharper-honed points made by the main characters as the story progresses. 

This simply alone represents the true enemies-to-lovers trope. Full of angst, hate, and tension, no other main characters I've read that truly hate and despise one another. Both the character's beliefs are shaped by their tribe and that is how their misconceptions and prejudice set them apart. Both character dynamics are intricately crafted with flaws that overall shape their trope. 

All I can is that this is a refreshing read which I thoroughly enjoyed. Although the ending felt mellow and wished it was longer. 

cute and fun read.

This is the most heartwarming story I’ve read about two college students falling in love and their beautiful narrative about new perspectives in life, faced with hardships, determination and admiration with their lifestyles they are literally the cutest couple!! 

An interesting and intriguing aspect of characters that are different magical beings solving a mystery about a ghost and death itself. A story with different perspectives about the plot itself and the lives of both the magical beings and how it is all interconnected.

All I can say is that I don't think this author is for me, I've read a book from her before which is the One for My Enemy, and didn't like it. I don't think her writing style is for me and I've struggled to be immersed with her stories. The plot itself is interesting and some moments caught my curiosity but most of the time, I didn't care for the said characters maybe for the reason that there were too many POVs and I was confused most of the time. The only thing I like is the illustrations in her books and how some chapters have it then the beginning and end of the pages have it. 

It's a cute and emotional rom-com with a found-family aspect. I love the portrayal of the characters in this story, their dynamics, and how they communicate. A wholesome funny story with a great depiction of family hardships, healing, setting boundaries, honesty, and a lot of patience towards situations you'll have a hard time being patient with. 


P.S. I didn't realize that this is a companion series and I accidentally spoiled myself by reading the last book when I haven't even read the first book. I should've checked if this book had any connection with her other works. Oops, my bad...

 It is a short story and I thoroughly enjoyed this. 

Full of mystery and intrigue, this plot never dulls my interest in the story. The characters, setting, and magic mystery are so interesting, the concept of traveling and the soulmate aspect captured my attention in a heartbeat. A fast-paced plot with many action-packed scenes can be confusing and forgettable but I was here for the characters to begin with.

It did lack the world-building and the magic system explanation though I can understand since the main character itself doesn't know. I did notice that the first book is much slower-paced than this one, this was all over the place and I did read the first book a while back, so I was confused half of the time because I couldn't remember the other characters.

The ending was a bit anti-climactic, I need a more tense, everything is falling apart scenario with the characters to let the readers know that everything is going wrong and this decision will change everything kind of thing. I still liked this and I'm still wondering the connection between Aaron and Joan from the true timeline if there's Nick and Joan. All in all, I need the third book.

It’s a cute story, main reason for reading this was because I wanted to read a book similar to archer’s voice. This was fine I guess.
