4.5 stars
This lived up to my expectations. The start was a bit slow, and I wanted a tiny bit more from the romance, but this story and magic system are so unique and exciting to read about! Plus I love the gothic atmosphere

I will read the next one though, I’m excited to see how things end up.

4.5. not gonna lie, i was very confused for the first 30% but im glad i pushed through. i really liked this magic system & the gothic setting was 10/10. i wish the enemies had enemied a little longer before becoming lovers but i will look past it

~4.5 ⭐️

- unique fantasy world
- morally grey heroine (and sometimes moral-less)
- great plot driven story
- characters sometimes feel a bit flat tho
