This book is the reason why I will never again give up on a read. I first started it back in 2019 when I got it, but after reading a few chapters I felt like I wasn't really interested in it and put it back on the shelf.
It's 2021 and two-hundred something pages later I have fallen inlove with the moors, the wind, witches and their spells and all together the concept of a small town so full of secrets.
V.E. Schwab's writing is so clean; it has a way of making you visualize whatever she is describing and it's done so well that you find yourself being able to conjure a fully formed picture of the setting.
Thank you so much for writing this Victoria.

Best book I've read in months. The writing is absolutely beautiful, the characters jump off the page, and the story sucks you right in.
