I loved this book it has been the first actual adult novel I have read in a while that was more than a romance novel. I liked the characters they were well written I especially liked Marco and Celia I liked their romance it was not overstated it was wonderful and loved every second of it. I liked the story it was interesting the subtle magic was a change from what I have seen before I really loved how it was written. So overall I loved this book and would read more books like it.

If you care very much about motives and reasoning behind an action, don't rea
