Thank you so much to Tor Teen for sending me an advanced copy of this fantastic read in exchange for an honest review.

i love stories that start off with the reader finding out something horrible has happened and then we get to know characters who have to deal with the aftermath. i loved the magic system in this and the conversations it brought up about white privelege and racism. i loved cris and Clem and found myself wishing I had a similar relationship like they do with my brother.

However the only I wasn’t really a fan of and this is more of just a personal preference, the different writing styles in perspectives from the twins/Valentina kind of drove me insane because the constant changing from the first to third person narratives.


overall I’m predicting this will be a popular book when it’s released and I can’t wait to see the cover. A story as magical as this deserves a beautiful cover.
