beyond that, this was good. nice continuation of the series with some fun reveals and interesting villains. it wasn't quite as juicy/well paced as the first book but was still incredibly satisfying. excited to read the next one!...more
i'm always more generous with my reviews when i listen to an audiobook in its entirety when i'm outside enjoying the sunshine. and that's the case heri'm always more generous with my reviews when i listen to an audiobook in its entirety when i'm outside enjoying the sunshine. and that's the case here as well, but genuinely, i don't think this book is as bad as the reviews will have you believe.
it's just marketed awfully
the cover and the description are giving fairly simple contemporary witchy sapphic romance. it is decidedly not that. this is a multi-pov adult fantasy with one of those POVs having a sapphic subplot. you've got a magical location that is slowly dying along with the people in it. and the desperate witches who are trying to save the town by essentially kidnapping and indoctrinating people with latent magical abilities.
so... not a light hearted story. lol.
that being said, the world was interesting and so were the character motivations. i didn't like the romantic storylines but i enjoyed the rest. i'd be tentatively interested in continuing with the series....more

i'm reading it for a video, otherwise it would have been an instant DNF. i'm not into cozy/"charming" books like this. and i really despised the love interest. he was a dick and a reveal near the end of the book was deeply strange and unsettling to me.
also don't really feel like this is a romance and as i'm reading it for a romance video i'm more irritated than i would be otherwise lol....more

i'm surprised that nearly all of the top reviews for this book are middling. i thought this was a huge step up from yeah this FUCKED and fucked hard.
i'm surprised that nearly all of the top reviews for this book are middling. i thought this was a huge step up from clare's shadowhunter books. and i love her shadowhunter books.
but the world here was intriguing. characters pretty immediately likable and interesting. magic that hasn't been fully explored but that is promising. court politics. murder. and forbidden romance??? yup.
i am immediately picking up the next book so. make of that what you will :)...more
