    “A romantasy story that doesn’t lean into the tropes that the most popular ones are. The story is unique and reads like a dark fairy tale. The prose are stronger than most in the genre.”

    “The writing was everything, witty, dark and poetic. I’ve never read anything like this. The plot is insane.”

    “Romantasy novel with a gothic-y vibe and my ever-so-favorite enemies-to-lovers trope. Scratched the itch after wanting to read something similar to the Crimson Moth duology.”

    ““Romantasy” for people who cringe at the term. An elegantly precise heroes journey in a deceptively dark novel, fraught and jubilant at the same time. Inexplicably reminds me of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth in the best possible way (it might be the talking gargoyle). 5/5”

    “Another 5 star gothic read with unforgettable characters and unique elements.”
