This book gave me the same feelings as I got when reading paranormal books like twilight but much better. The story follows Winnie Wednesday as she tries to become a Luminary Hunter after her family had been exiled four years ago.
Winnie is a likable smart character while also being a teenage girl making dumb decisions. I am also invested in her friendship with Jay Friday and a secret i think he is hiding.
The forest in the book and all the mythical creatures were my favorite part. This is a great start to a series and having read the second book it only gets better.
I recommend this to people who like YA paranormal books.

The writing is where this book shines. It has a lyrical fairytale quality that feels delectable to read.
The story is told through two narrators: the bridegroom and his wives childhood friend Azure. The story is whimsical and hard to grasp as you don't know if what they are experiencing are real or imaginary. I still don't know if magic is real but I think that is part of the allure of the book.
The main theme of the book is female friendships and how all encompassing they can feel as a teenager.
I highly recommend this book for people who like beautiful writing and 'no plot just vibes' books.
