Sehr cozy Atmosphere! Am Anfang hat der Plot echt lange gebraucht um sich aufzubauen, aber da das Setup mal etwas ganz anderes war, hat es nicht so gestört. Teilweise fand ich einige Teile des Plots etwas absurd und auch den Main Plottwist konnte ich meilenweit sehen, aber es war süß und eine willkommene Abwechslung zu meinen aktuell heavy reads.

That was so good. Excellent writing. The way history and fantasy are combined is beautiful and cruel at the same time. 
The ending got a little bumpy imo but it just adds to the uniqueness of this story!

Picked this book up after reading it in my teens. I remembered it way more grande. Generally I liked the plot and also the ending, but it’s (intentionally or not) written for (older) teens and also ist very slow paced for the first 300 pages. Would love to read this premise in an adult book.

Excellent writing, the ending felt flat though. for me it was pretty hard to understand feelings and behaviour of the characters which made the story better though.

boring; not enough tension in the first half of the book; too much resemblance to shutout

cute and relaxing; At the beginning the writing reminded me a lot of a wattpad story I would’ve read when I was 14, but it gets way better throughout the book and it was nice following Sera and Ty through their struggles.

Very cute, loved that the ex-relationship wasn’t a love triangle and not much drama at the end. Also the character development and dynamic between Ryder and Gigi is written extremely well.
