Have you ever picked up a book and just known it was going to change your life? That might be a little bit dramatic, but that's how I felt when I got this book from the library. I don't even know where to begin, this book was everything. Tess is so endearing and broken and flawed, but you can't help loving her instantly. Her journey is slow and not a lot happens, but at the same time SO much happens. Being able to trace her path of healing and self-discovery is so so moving. Am I crying while writing this review? Maybe. The discussion of self-guilt brought on by the abuse and expectations of religion and family is so profound. Idk what else to say but if you are looking for a heartwarming book set in a well-developed world with a little bit of fantasy and a whole lotta heart please read this freaking book.
What a fever dream of a book. I'm so scared for all my children but mostly just want Sergei to be happy and safe
A decent read, I liked that the magic system was somewhat developed, but what is with the hometown boy love interest literally having no personality?
It was okay, but I didn't like it nearly as much as I thought I would. The new Holmes-Watson generation thing was interesting, but I feel like it will get old quickly. The case/mystery was just so wild and over the top that it made the book feel hokey? The copious amount of injectable drug references had me cringing the entire book
