This was phenomenal. If you like media, (mostly music), along with social and cultural discussions, this is perfect for you. I couldn't put this down. His writing whole sharing his experiences through media are hypnotic and gripping.

I would have finished this faster, but I'm slumpy. I loved this series! I have a small complaint about the end but it's a major spoiler and I would still read it again despite. I also still recommend it regardless. Dragons & riders, the morally gray world, the politics, the battles, the found family. This book made me cry. That doesn't happen often

Thank you to libro.fm for the advanced copy. I'm very grateful.

Slow burn, good twists, and a gossipy neighborhood with a decades old tragedy. I really enjoyed this!

Jane Austen universe retelling + murder mystery. The fact that someone killed Mr. Wickham was strangely satisfying 😏

Abby wrote my soul into two main characters and I've never felt so seen. I adore her books, but this one is now absolutely my favorite. I cried the entire time. There isn't a way for me to love it more.
