Mar 02, 2021 Kirsten rated it it was amazing

This was one of my favorite reads of last year. This was an engrossing and inventive read.

What would happen if nothing you ever did made a mark? If no one ever remembered you? Would it not drive you mad? This is why you should never make deals with the devil or the fairies or witches, et al. They will find a way to screw you over.

Great book. Highly recommend it.

I give this book 4.5 stars, for a compelling story and hauntingly empathetic language.
That .5 of a star is due to the inevitable ending that I didn’t want to happen. It makes sense, but it still was rough.
I really enjoyed the story, and I think that I would explore more standalone stories like this or an Addie-world based series. I found myself highlighting a lot of quotes and I’m really happy I got to read this.
