Sweet & Bitter Magic

Finishing March up with a great one. First of all, Tamsin and Wren are GOALS. I love their dynamic and literally everything about them. Add that in with the plot - Tamsin's lack of being able to feel love, even with smells, tastes, and more, with Wren's sunny personality despite her challenges, really made their relationship just that much better. Following them on this journey was a BLESSING, gah can I fangirl hard enough? So, yes, the romance is beautiful. The characters are beautiful. And the plot, too, is fantastical, thrilling, enticing, and magical all in one. A solid, solid end to my March.
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.
I was excited to read this as its a standalone fantasy and how rare are they?!
Overall I enjoyed it but do feel like it could have been expanded into a duology to flesh it out more, as it lacked some depth and world building.
I liked the characters and the descriptions of the magic, but really wanted more from the world to be more immersed in it.
