I was more than the girl, the King, and the monster of Blunder's dark, twisted tale.
I was its author.

the rumors are true, this was–in fact–THAT fucking good.
I don't even know were to start, because you can't truly can't catch a break when it comes to this story. so many things happen, at once, there's not a single moment of peace and happiness, just me and excruciating pain that ended in emotional distress.
BUT IT WAS SO GOOD.

in an age? / moment where fantasy it's more an accessory to a love story, this is an oasis–a spark of hope.

there are not plot holes, everything is explained and properly developed–wich it sometimes seems as it's a lot to ask, but not here. this book delivered.

elm and ione? they stole the entire book. this is their story now.
no but I was losing my mind, I missed the times when a fantasy book would make me spiral, I truly enjoyed it.

the magic system, the solutions, the plot, the characters–there is not a single flaw.
