This book was so amazing. It was kind of a task to get into it first since there were so much information in characters and I was still a little confused with all the characters and events throughout the whole book and that truly was a me problem, i’m sure once I reread it once it becomes time for the second book to come out then a lot more things will jump out at me and make sense but I will say wholeheartedly that I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved our main character, Maggie and how real she was and not annoying, which was refreshing. I have been in such a reading slump these past few months and I think this book has helped me revitalize my appetite. I had an amazing time reading this story 10 out of 10 would recommend I cannot wait for the next book to come out. this is exactly what I want to see in romantasy or fantasy books. The plot , characters, dialogue, and relationships were so solid and I couldn’t put it down. And the slow burn romance was just right . I could’ve probably went into more detail with my review, but as I literally started this book today and it’s now 3 AM I have no more notes. Just gold star Everybody deserves a gold star. ⭐️ 


What’s an overused line that makes you sigh when you see it?
And what’s one that’s technically overused but still hits every time?
I’ll start! : “You’ll be the death of me” and “you little minx” makes my eyes roll so hard, but “Who did this to you??😡” still makes me so giddy 😝


I feel like I fell in love with this platform this year because why am I on here every single day?? I haven’t let up once 😭 I swear my phone hate to see me coming at this point
And the way I keep hitting the 5-post limit when I’m reading a book??? I’ll be mid-spiral and suddenly it’s like “no more posts for today” and I’m screaming LET ME INNNN I HAVE MORE TO SAYYY 🤧
AHHHHHH 🗣️

It’s time. We’re saying it out loud.
What trope makes you immediately reconsider your life choices when you see it in a synopsis?
The chosen one? Love triangles? Amnesia? Insta-love? The "I can fix him" dynamic?
