I loved everything about this book. 5+++ stars. I still don't know what to write for a review, though, almost a month after I finished it. I will buy a proper copy and reread it. Needless to say, it's amazing and you should all read it.

Five stars x 2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ because this is a book I will want to read over and over again. The feel is Labyrinth meets In the Name of the Rose meets Laini Taylor, but the story is wholly original.
