Was it the best book I’ve ever read? No. Was it everything I needed in a sapphic YA fantasy? Yeah.
A quick and fun read that left me feeling content at the end. It did what it needed to do.
While there was limited exploration the world building had a lot of potential. I picked this book for the romance but ended up being more intrigued by Sofi’s self discovery and the secrets/history of her family. The climax of the story felt a little rushed and not earned but I’m willing to forgive that. All in all a good tale that isn’t hard to read and easy to binge.
It felt like the author hates lesbians, every single one was a “dyke” and either transphobic or a serial cheater. The romance felt forced and toxic. The most interesting character was the dead one. 2 stars for having an interesting premise, even though it wasn't executed well.
