This was a very well written fantasy romance, with an edge of mystery as well. It had lots of good twists and I like how it explored morality.

It’s a fun book. The writing in the beginning made me cringe a bit but as the story progressed it improved. Or maybe I just got into it. Really fun characters and it def relies heavily on the tropes but it’s a read that’s easy to fly through. I think this a book to help someone get out of a reading slump overall.

This book absolutely destroyed me. I need more of Evie and The Villian, now.

I wish I could go back in time and tell myself not to take so long getting into this book! Once I got past the exposition (it was slow for me, but that could’ve been the mood reader problem), I was HOOKED and couldn’t put the book down!

I was captivated by the bizarre tone and nonsensical worldbuilding but it did drag on a bit towards the end.
The fairytale/generic dnd campaign fantasy vibes and corresponding whacky hijink clashed oddly with the very real theme of sexual violence. The latter wasn't handled poorly it just felt jarring.
The mystery of who is betraying The Villain was interesting

, though i did think it was a bit much that not only did Evie's dad betray her and make her carry the burden of caring for the family, he also tried to sell her off to a man without her consent. That just made him cartoonishly evil and cheapened the reveal

.
The characters were fine with pretty predictable arcs. The romance was cute enough but a bit tedious.
Don't think I'll read the sequel.

Pertencer era um conceito tão estranho para Evie, algo que ela desejava silenciosamente, mas que nunca descobrira como conseguir, mas aqui estava. O seu momento, as suas pessoas. A espera tinha valido a pena.

(…) A guivre não tardaria a perceber que a única forma de se juntar ao companheiro era deixar-se prender lá dentro com ele.
Quando se trata da coisa que mais amamos, pensou Trystan antes de correr para a grade, com Sage a protestar, aos gritos atrás de si, é sempre melhor estarmos presos juntos do que livres e separados.

Se insistir em continuar a aparecer atrás de mim desta maneira, vou obrigá-lo a usar um guizo.

A ponte gemeu e balançou sob o seu peso, e a escuridão que se estendia para lá dela ameaçava engoli-lo, mas a lua voltou a brilhar nas pedras preciosas do cabelo de Sage. Trystan manteve o seu olhar nelas, sabendo que seguiria aquela luz para onde quer que ela fosse.
