Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this story!! The vibes were just immaculate and the writing was was so atmospheric! I initially requested this book because of the gorgeous cover but ended up loving the story just as much. I loved the characters in this as well. I do wish that this story was less murder mystery and more court politics though. I also hope there will be a sequel!! Perhaps about Lud or Heike!

A beautiful, deep, dark, gothic fantasy that left me completely mesmerized.I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, the world building the immersive settings, and the sapphic romance. I recommend it to people looking for a strong romance that takes place in a larger fantasy world.
