Few hours?? Took me like two weeks to come to write this review I apologize LOL
However, jokes aside, this book was heavenly good, even if I didn't give it 5 stars. (Was debating between 5 and 4.75 www) I may have read this digitally but I eventually did get my hands on the physically book to reread and annotate!
I think F.T. Lukens has an amazing writing style, their use of words, the descriptions, the poetic writing. It's the main reason why this book was just so good! The development between Tal and Athlen too, even though sometimes yes, Atlen did get on my nerves but their relationship with each other is beautiful to witness as they grow much closer and develop that sense of belonging with each other.
I also love the fact that Tal's siblings get to have their own part in this story, which doesn't make this book as main character centered if one might assume it to be. Not all of the siblings played a major, major role in the story but they did make an appearance in the story, so none of them would be left out.
I think what lowered down my rating was mainly the ending, to me, it felt slightly rushed and I also do think that some aspects towards the end of the book could change to fit the main plot more or maybe could've delve deeper into as context prior to the ending but I'm also very content with how the book ended :)
Not a super long review from me this time wwww but nonetheless thank you for reading this review of mine and happy reading!! <3
