I loved reading this book! It was the perfect blend of fantasy and historical fiction without being overwhelming. The characters felt real and fleshed out, and the author did such a great job of showing the complexity of grief and learning to trust again. This book felt like an adventure and I was captivated the whole time, but I can’t believe I have to wait until November to find out how it ends!
