I knew since I saw that first tiktok that showed up on my fyp on tik tok over a year ago that it would be a great story. And to find out it was being written as a book was only making me want to read it more.

And then I read the dedication and I knew, without a doubt, that the story would be brilliant.

And I was right.

There are obviously some things I didn't particularly like, because no story is perfect, but they were so minor it didn't deter my enjoyment. You could feel the love Hannah poured into every page, every sentence, which made this story even more special. Each character was fully fleshed out and I loved them all and couldn't wait to learn more. Trystan's backstory was tragic and I love that we got little snippets of it throughout the whole book, right until the last pages, and most of it is still a mystery to us. Evie was amazing, and I LOVE THAT SHE SWORE AT THE END. AND SHE BROUGHT HER OWN HEAD, HELL YES!

I cannot wait for the sequel, hopefully, we will get one in the future. I need Evie and Trystan to be together, for Evie to learn the truth about the golden ink (will SHE be able to feel when Trystan's in danger too?), for Arthur to be reunited with his son, and for Evie to find out what really happened to her mom. I need it all and I hope we will get it in the future!
