5.0

One of the easiest 5 ⭐️s I’ve ever given!
If you love cosy,  heart warming fantasy about finding your inner magic and learning to love yourself for who you are, then please pick this book up.
This book made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, made me smile, and made me tear up at times.

2.0

Really disappointed in this. Didn’t love the first one but I was intrigued so continued.
This book was far too short, and spent far too long in the characters minds repeating the same things again and again rather than spending that time advancing the plot or even taking time to describe the surroundings.

Also Dacre’s inner dialogue about the Verena being his, even if she doesn’t want him to be, gives major red flags. 🚩🚩

Don’t think I’ll be continuing in this series.

The pacing of this book was so off… as soon as the plot picked up we would be taken out of it for a slow scene where nothing of consequence happened. Really let down after how the first book ended.

what was the point of the epilogue?
