I really enjoyed this book and would definitely read it again, but I’m not sure I’m interested in continuing with a second book or more. Based on the first, it doesn’t feel like there’s much left to explore. I was a bit surprised to see the main characters already in a relationship, as it didn’t seem like much time had passed between them, I would’ve personally liked to see more growth there. Effy’s past and hardships were written beautifully, and there’s strong character development throughout the story. However, there were a few areas that felt a little lacking to me. Still, the atmosphere, emotion, and writing style made it an engaging and memorable read overall.

This book was good! I was a little skeptical at first because I don’t usually enjoy constant character changes, each new chapter brings a different main character’s perspective, but the author pulled it off beautifully. There’s a lot of growth throughout the story, and I like that there are still plenty of questions left open since there’s supposed to be a second book. I’m really excited to see how the author ties it all together and answers some of the unknowns. While I would’ve liked a bit more character development in some areas, this is a series, so I’m sure there’s more to come. The story kept me hooked, and I never got bored. On top of that, the book itself is incredibly beautiful, both inside and out.
