I became an instant fan of Ava Reid after reading Juniper and Thorn. So when I finally acquired a copy of this book, I immediately read it. And good heavens, I could not put this book down.
This book had the right amount of most of what I’ve been looking for in a good story. The entire plot was very engaging. It had a lot of mystery to it and many times it had me questioning the reality of its universe, much like our sweet protagonist, Effy. I could not help but also root for her the entire story.
Speaking of characters, I love them. Each one has unique strengths and weaknesses and I was able to somehow empathize with each one, despite being very different people. I especially love the relationship Effy has with the characters (though I shall not name them to avoid spoilers).
It was also a nice touch, how the story went around full circle. Suddenly, all the quotes within the story finally made sense. And after all the gripping and intense events, it still left me satisfied, how the story ended. Much like the rollercoaster ride of emotions Effy felt, I felt them too. I felt like I was transported into that world and I was truly invested. And if it were up to me, I’d wish for a continuation. For more adventures with Effy and Preston. I would love to see what their life will become, after such life-changing events.
