A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope: Harlow Sanctum Interconnected Series, Book 2
"Death is not the end of us."
Follow the emotional and heartwarming story of two mentally unwell ghosts who've lost their way.
Lanston
It's been five years since I died and I'm still here. Still haunting this world. I've all but given up hope of passing on the other side when I'm dragged to a spring performance with Yelina and Jericho. It's there that I see the most beautiful phantom I've ever witnessed dancing on the stage. Only after meeting her do I realize how similar we are. But darkness chases her, keeping her distant from me. But how far am I willing to go to find peace?
Ophelia
I've evaded other phantoms for years. To keep them safe and away from the shadows that haunt me. But for some reason, I can't stay away from him. He invites me to join him at Harlow Sanctum, where he asks me to join him in completing our bucket list. He wants to pass on. But I have a dark past that keeps me from wanting to follow him into the dark.
This is the spin-off to The Fabric of Our Souls, which must be listened to first to follow the characters in this story.

'My light died a long time ago—flickering with the many exhales of disapproval until finally, with one big breath, it was blown completely out. Like a withering candle left out in the cold, surely to hush and diminish as expected.'
'This lovely phantom is the very image of tragedy. She is a ballad of mournful movements, bones, and tattered lace—a symphony unlike any I’ve endured.'
"I want my love to haunt you. Until the stars die-until all the water in the ocean dries and we're all that's left in this cruel, dark world."

Sobbed my face off! This book is so freaking beautiful. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
Every now and then, I'm fortunate enough to come across an author who just speaks my language. Moronova has managed to compose such a beautiful and mesmerizing sequel to The Fabric of Our Souls - I really didn't think it was possible.
This was such a mournful story, at times leaving me feeling bereft while still managing to be hopeful, leaving my heart on the verge of bursting. What an odd feeling, joy and anguish simultaneously.
Words cannot express just how enchanting and dark, yet also luminous, sorrowful, and reassuring this story is. It's more than a story; it's an adventure, a dark fairytale that captivates your heart and speaks to your soul.
You do not simply read this story; you experience it. It's a whole feeling, a whole vibe.
I highlighted 52 separate passages in this book, some of them being entire pages. I'm just so blown away- I don't even have the words.

°˖➴ ♡ˎˊ˗ 'There are moments in one’s existence when you connect with another in a mere second, something sinks deep into your soul, planting a yearning that may never fade. A song that chills your bones and rattles the blood in your veins.'
°˖➴ ♡ˎˊ˗ 'Life is a circus of betrayal and dread. Nothing good stays and nothing bad ever really goes. Death is nothing more than a somber replay of it all. An ode to the closing of that very last chapter you perhaps never did get to finish. Is there anything quite as sad as that? A story left unfinished.'
°˖➴ ♡ˎˊ˗ 'No ghosts who are stuck here are so careless that they’ll indulge in the insane, morbid side I have to offer—the leap of hope I take alone. But he does.'
°˖➴ ♡ˎˊ˗ 'His light brown hair is chaos and his eyes are a storm of greens, blues, and dashes of yellow. A parchment of sorrowful words written and scrawled—he reminds me of such a somber, nostalgic song—one of sadness and death. One never known. He is a ballad of phantoms… and, perhaps, one of hope.'
°˖➴ ♡ˎˊ˗ 'She’s different though. I don’t feel like the world is moving on while I remain stagnant. No, with her, it’s as if the world tilts around us—our gravity too immense for the living. We orbit one another, hands reaching and seeking the light.'
°˖➴ ♡ˎˊ˗ 'I never understood that about people. Their insistence on cruelty through words. The trickery of it. I didn’t hit you this time. No, perhaps not, but you told me I was the reason you will grow cancer one day. That I will be your undoing just for existing.” She pauses and looks at me, eyes so dull it ruins me. “At least when it’s a flesh wound it stays there. It doesn’t sink any further than my fucking bones. But when they tell me all the reasons why I’m a terrible person or why I’m worthless, those wounds infest my soul.'
°˖➴ ♡ˎˊ˗ 'And he, this beautiful, ruinous man, says, “I cannot rid you from my mind, Ophelia. It’s as if you’ve instilled an illness of your own into me. You are the sole thought that ravages my mind as I lie awake at night. The ceilings make me think of you. The forest. Roses. Breathing—I cannot take breath without you eroding my sanity.”
°˖➴ ♡ˎˊ˗ “More than dancing and collecting greenery. Every song I listen to reminds me of you. Every glance into the sky, the stars, the sunlight—I see you everywhere, Lanston. I feel you in the breeze that greets my cheeks, the scent of pages and books. You’ve haunted me from the day I laid eyes on you.”

It was an impossible task picking just a few meaningful quotes for this review as I've highlighted over 100 sections throughout this book.
The language used to tell Lanston & Ophelia's story has me completely enchanted. It's beautiful, poetic, descriptive, raw and real, making you love and feel for the characters deeply.
Kudos to the author for not stepping back from slightly taboo subjects, but instead leaning in and giving us something gripping, tearjerking, and something that I will keep with me for a long time. 🖤
In this book, we follow Lanston & Ophelia beyond death on a journey to find peace after both having lived tough and traumatic lives. Juggling the trauma of their past and the potential of hope after death, growing in their self-acceptance whilst leaving loved ones behind but also finding new loves beyond.
Compared to The Fabric of our Souls, I think this might perceived as a bit slow-paced, as it doesn't have that same mystery-intrigue that TFooS brought. It is slower at times, however, it's exactly what this book needs with the heavy themes it contains.
It provides us with heart-wrenching moments combining those with sweet, lighthearted ones and eye-opening ones; building up such a deep, pure love and connection between the main characters.
I could see myself in thousand small moments in this book and through this book found a glimpse of peace for myself as well.❤️🩹 Thank you.
K.M. Moronova if you happen to come by this, I need you to make The Fabric of our Souls & A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope into like a 25 part series. I promise I'll read all of them thousand times over and force them upon all my friends as well. We need more of your writing and characters in this world.🥹

I read the prequel, The Fabric of our Souls, earlier this year. That book changed me and will likely end up amongst my top reads this year. ❤️🩹
Ever since I knew this book was going to be released I've been eager to get my hands on it.
Going into this book I know I'll likely cry my heart out and feel all kinds of hurt, but I'm just happy to be here lol.

This book romanticizes death and delves into topics such as suicidal ideation. It's very dark although beautiful, check your TW's before going into this. Your mental health matters!🖤

"For the weary darlings out in the world who seek hope"
"Sometimes, we just need to release the broken parts of us. Unchain them and let them be free."
TRAGIC, POETIC, RAW 💔😭
If you have not read "Fabric of Our Souls" please go read that one first and please check your trigger warnings. I said this with the first book and I will say it again, we are lucky enough to come across books on our reading journey that not only make us "feel" but also change our very being and Moronova you did it again. Please never stop writing the way that you do because you don't just write a story, you touch so many of us on a deeper level and give those unheard a voice. This book is so beautifully written that it simply is Perfection. 🥰🥰
I have never read writing that makes me want to cry just because of how hauntingly beautiful it is. Both tragic and poetic, this book shines a light on mental health, love, and closure in such a relatable way. This book was everything; a book that not only shatters your heart to pieces but also heals it in the process.💔💝
"Souls shouldn't have to suffer such ruination at the gritty hands of the world. A cold and heartless plane of existence"
"We are all ruined in some way, bruised and scarred.
"There really aren't many people like him out in the world anymore. When did we, as humans, become so cold and withdrawn?"
"People like us traverse the world alone because we were raised to believe that we have to. Smile and pretend. Smile and pretend. No one cares about your depression. Smile and pretend. Don't let them see what you really are."
Lanston and Ophelia: A story of two kindred souls that not only fall in love, but show us the importance of hope, healing, forgiveness of others and self-forgiveness, closure, and the beauty of loving someone even in their darkest moments.
There are moments in one’s existence when you connect with another in a mere second, something sinks deep into your soul, planting a yearning that may never fade. A song that chills your bones and rattles the blood in your veins.
"No, with her, it’s as if the world tilts around us—our gravity too immense for the living. We orbit one another, hands reaching and seeking the light."
"How can it be that you come to know someone more than you know yourself? I would know her in any life, this I am certain. I don’t believe in such things, but should reincarnation be real… I’m beginning to think Ophelia is my eternity. We would find each other in every life or death, even as phantoms."
“I cannot rid you from my mind, Ophelia. It’s as if you’ve instilled an illness of your own into me. You are the sole thought that ravages my mind as I lie awake at night. The ceilings make me think of you. The forest. Roses. Breathing—I cannot take breath without you eroding my sanity.”
"I want my love to haunt you. Until the stars die--until all the water in the ocean dries and we're all that's left in theis cruel, dark world."

I really wanted to love this because I absolutely ADORED fabric of our souls, but unfortunately this just didn’t do it for me. The story was absolutely beautiful and so well written, but I found myself really struggling to connect with our main characters and the romance as a whole. I also am the type of person who really needs an intriguing plot alongside the romance and this book was very much so a love story, a beautifully tragic one at that. But for that reason it wasn’t for me personally but I can see why this book would be so so well loved by so many! The mental health rep was incredible and it truly was unlike anything I’ve ever read before!

This one was tough because of the mental health. What an absolutely heartbreaking story.
“You were all u knew as I fell into the dark”
“I love you, until the stars die.”
I’ll NEVER forget this one!!!

Dedication For the weary darlings out in the world who seek hope.
Because, well, I’ve never seen how sad I truly look to others. When I look at myself in the mirror, I’m compelled to smile. It’s what we’re taught, isn't it? Smile. Look pretty. Smile. Even if it hurts, smile.
This is the book I needed after The Fabric of our Souls. This is a beautifully woven poetic story of redemption and love. The love for oneself, the love for another, the love of life and being. K. M. Moronova has a way of capturing the pain of mental health and using it to tell devastatingly hopeful stories. Her characters feel real. There were parts of the story where I was left wanting more, but that did not take away from my overall enjoyment while reading this; I just truly did not want it to end (I was not ready to say goodbye to Lanston 😭). Ophelia's story felt too close to home - it broke me and fixed me all at once.
To the Ophelias out there - you are a bright, beautiful butterfly in this world. Don't you dare let someone clip your wings.
May my sweet babies Lanston and Ophelia find a life full of love, solace and pure bliss in the afterlife. You are both butterflies 🫶🏻
🥀“Your light is contagious. Bright. I could find you in the depths of the underworld. Through mist and darkness. Through it all.”🥀

Перша частина була трішечки краще, але ця мені теж сподобалась. Як мені було шкода чгг коли той казав, що його постійно кидали а сцена де він прийшов на свою могилу в річницю своєї смерті, а його друзі не прийшли, ну книжка моментами пробивала сльозу. Судячи по родичам Офелії, то краще не мати родичів взагалі, ніж мати таких родичів як у неї. Вони тупо бажали їй померти, вони її зневажали, що там казати вона буквально довели її до самогубства. Ця серія одна з небагатьох які я готова колись ще перечитати, бо герої мені сподобались. Я очікувала від цієї серії жорстких чгг, які вважають, що жінка це тільки секс, а тут я побачила хлопців, які хочуть щоб їх кохали та були з ними поруч.

"I've longed for a soul like yours. And here you've been all this time. Ophelia, even if we are stuck on this earth forever, I would find solace in knowing we are together."
This book had so many good one liners and was written beautifully but something about it just didn’t draw me in and captivate me in the way I wanted it to.
I struggled to connect with our main characters and the romance. While I heavily connected to the mental health aspect of this book I really struggled to connect with the other aspects of the story sadly. Saying that the overall story that this book gave to us was truly beautiful 🤍.

5/5⭐️
Прекрасна книга😻
Дуже хороший задум написати про двох примар, ще такого не зустрічала
Авторка справді зробила велику роботу 🥰
Так гарно написано, таке кохання 🥺 я обовʼязково в кінці поділюсь цитатами, а їх так багато☺️
Я щиро рекомендую почитати ці дві книги, обов’язково по черзі, це однозначно дві найкращі книги прочитані за літо
Не дуже хочу порівнювати але перша книга про Вінн і Ліама мені сподобалась більше
Але я так полюбила Ленстона за першу книгу що і його книга потрапила в моє серце ❤️
Офелія і Ленстон яка ж в них чудова історія кохання вийшла 🥺🥰
Ну такі вже бусинки
Ленстон така романтична душа😭 він був готовий на все для Офелії (залишу вам цитати то ви вже почитаєте наскільки він чудовий 😻)
Трошки розчарував кінець, хотілось можливо якогось екшину але просто все стримано і мило
Ну непогано 🤷🏿♀️
Теж є тригерні моменти про які авторка попереджає на початку книги
Ну і як бонус, рада за Джеріко і Єліну ну а епілог від лиця Вінн заставив пустити не одну сльозу😭 таке хороше закінчення 🥺
я вже навіть думаю про те, щоб придбати дві книги в папері (читала електронно) ну так вже сподобались🥰
Переходим до цитат😉
«Мені не потрібно знати тебе, щоб думати про тебе, Офеліє. Ти вже закарбувалась в моїй свідомості. Ти не усвідомлюєш, наскільки ти унікальна, наскільки приваблива.»
«Я хочу втішити її. Знати всіх її прихованих демонів і обіймати її, поки темрява не покине нас. Ми разом проженемо тіні, що шукають нас, якщо доведеться.»
«Сумувати- це нормально, моя трояндо.»
«- Я не можу викинути тебе з голови, Офеліє. Ти ніби заразила мене своєю хворобою. Ти - єдина думка, яка мучить мій розум коли я не сплю ночами. Стелі змушують мене думати про тебе. Ліс. Троянди. Дихання - я не можу вдихнути без того, щоб ти не порушила мій спокій.»
«Я казав тобі, яка ти красива, чи я лише повторював це знову і знову в своїй голові?»
«Я чекав би на тебе, навіть якщо б це означало ходити по холодних стінах замку собору, поки я не втрачу свою власну ідентичність. Поки все, що я знатиму - це ти.»
« Я шукав тебе, поки не залишилося жодного куточка, який можна було б оглянути. Поки моє серце не почало боліти, а на підошвах ніг не з’явилися виразки.»
«Я хочу, щоб моє кохання переслідувало тебе. Поки не згаснуть зірки, поки не висохне вся вода в океані, і ми будемо єдиними, хто залишиться в цього жорсткому, темному світі.»
«Чому я метелик? - Ленстон притискає мене до грудей, і ми дивимось в нічне небо. -Тому що ти яскрава і жива, як метелик. - А чому ти міль? - Тому що я завжди женусь за твоїм світлом.» (p.s в неї є татуювання де є міль і метелик)
« Я кохаю тебе, Офеліє. Несамовито, беззастережно, доки не згаснуть зірки.» 💔
Ну такі вже прекрасні обоє
Якби їм пощастило зустрітись за життя🥺 стільки б усього змінилось.
Ще хочу сказати, що в цій книзі авторка таки більше написала про їхнє минуле, напевно зробила висновки з попередньої книги ( в ній було мало про минуле гг) і цьому я дуже рада☺️
Прекрасна книга😻
Дуже хороший задум написати про двох примар, ще такого не зустрічала
Авторка справді зробила велику роботу 🥰
Так гарно написано, таке кохання 🥺 я обовʼязково в кінці поділюсь цитатами, а їх так багато☺️
Я щиро рекомендую почитати ці дві книги, обов’язково по черзі, це однозначно дві найкращі книги прочитані за літо
Не дуже хочу порівнювати але перша книга про Вінн і Ліама мені сподобалась більше
Але я так полюбила Ленстона за першу книгу що і його книга потрапила в моє серце ❤️
Офелія і Ленстон яка ж в них чудова історія кохання вийшла 🥺🥰
Ну такі вже бусинки
Ленстон така романтична душа😭 він був готовий на все для Офелії (залишу вам цитати то ви вже почитаєте наскільки він чудовий 😻)
Трошки розчарував кінець, хотілось можливо якогось екшину але просто все стримано і мило
Ну непогано 🤷🏿♀️
Теж є тригерні моменти про які авторка попереджає на початку книги
Ну і як бонус, рада за Джеріко і Єліну ну а епілог від лиця Вінн заставив пустити не одну сльозу😭 таке хороше закінчення 🥺
я вже навіть думаю про те, щоб придбати дві книги в папері (читала електронно) ну так вже сподобались🥰
Переходим до цитат😉
«Мені не потрібно знати тебе, щоб думати про тебе, Офеліє. Ти вже закарбувалась в моїй свідомості. Ти не усвідомлюєш, наскільки ти унікальна, наскільки приваблива.»
«Я хочу втішити її. Знати всіх її прихованих демонів і обіймати її, поки темрява не покине нас. Ми разом проженемо тіні, що шукають нас, якщо доведеться.»
«Сумувати- це нормально, моя трояндо.»

I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I started this book other than I knew there was a 10/10 chance that I was going to cry. And, yes, I was correct. This was a beautiful story filled with acceptance and love and how just because your mind is wired differently, doesn’t make you less than. I loved it. It was beautifully written and you could feel the emotion seeping from the pages. What a wonderful ending for a wonderful character.

I tried but i didn’t feel like i connected to any of the main characters!! The story was interesting but i still wasn’t as emotionally invested as i was supposed to be! And i was also a little bit bored to be honest🥱

1.5/5⭐️
3/5🌶
Malo.
Nada está bien en este libro.
Yo amé el anterior (The fabric of our souls), y me puse contenta cuando salió este spin off
Pero es muy malo.
El argumento era interesante: una historia de fantasmas era la oportunidad de que personajes "perdidos" tuvieran su historia.
No hay casi nada que me diga que estoy leyendo una historia de fantasmas, salvo cuando la autora se acuerda de recordarlo. Casi no hay reglas diferentes en el mundo fantasmagorico, todo es igual.
Mucho drama mediocre, los malos son malos malísimos porque si. Nunca un gris o una justificación, son totalmente planos.
Mucha frase rebuscada, diálogos cero naturales, todo muy poético pero no suena real. Me dió cringe. Ni hablar de las partes "intimas"
Lo mejor es que es corto.
Consejo: Si te gustó el primer libro, no leas este.

Siri play Train Wreck by James Arthur
”Beneath the world, beneath the universe and the stars, it’s just us here. No words to be spoken or places to hide.”
This was such a beautiful ending for my sweet Lanston and Ophelia 🖤
”Sometimes, we just need to release the broken parts of us. Unchain them and let them be free.”
This book pulled on all of my heart strings, no exaggeration! Lanston will forever be my absolute favorite hopeless romantic.

ugh i absolutely loved this book and i'm so glad. i wasn't sure going into it how i would like it since it's a paranormal dark romance and all of the characters are phantoms (ghosts), but i ate it up W it's a spin off to the fabric of our souls, which is one of my favorite dark romances so i already knew i'd love the writing but this book was so much different. this writing is hands down the most beautiful writing i've ever read. i needed to underline everything. i connected to this book and both main characters so much it hurt. i very surprisingly though didn't cry at all, which i thought i was going to sob the whole time. it was definitely sad but not as heartbreaking as i was expecting. i loved learning more about lanston and his past. he was my favorite in the first book and i had wished we got more from him, so i absolutely loved this book for that reason alone. ophelia was the most perfect character. i loved her so much from the second she was introduced. the both of them made the most beautiful couple and i was rooting for them the whole time, and their smut was most definitely smutting. my favorite tropes are enemies to lovers and slow burn and this was neither of that, i'm not actually sure what you'd call this trope but i loved it. their relationship and chemistry wasn't rushed at all but it also didn't take too long to blossom. it felt so realistic. i just loved this book. there were a couple scenes that i felt were unnecessary and i did guess the plot twist/ending in the very beginning, so that's why it's not a 5 star read but the writing itself is infinite stars. i highly recommend this book but make sure you read the fabric of our souls first. that book is even more incredible, i need to go reread it now

⤿ no spoilers ﹒⟢
i definitely liked this one better than the last, but it still didn’t really work for me. the idea of two lost phantasms trying to find their way is kinda interesting, but the execution left me feeling detached. lanston and ophelia had a lot of potential, and while the emotional connection was more central this time, i still didn’t feel fully invested. they both have dark pasts, which is supposed to make their bond meaningful, but even though i could see their struggles, i just wasn’t drawn into their journey.
their relationship played a bigger role here, but it still didn’t hit for me. they’re brought together by shared pain, and while the story digs into their traumas, it didn’t make me care more about them as a couple. the emotional moments were there, but they didn’t hit like i wanted. i could see what the story was aiming for, but it just didn’t land.
there were a few things i did like, like the ending—it had that bittersweet vibe with some genuinely sad moments. but overall, the book just didn’t grab me. the returning characters, like jericho, yelina, and poppie, were fine, but i still didn’t feel any strong connection to them or the events happening around them. i wanted to care more, but i found myself just coasting through the story without much attachment.
maybe if i’d read this at a different time, i would’ve felt more connected, but honestly, i don’t think it would’ve changed much. it was better than the last book, but still not great. i wanted to like it more, but it just never fully clicked for me.

I love K. M. Moronova's writing! The little details she placed throughout this book and the depth she gives the characters is the reasons I fell in love with her writing in Fabric of Our Souls. You feel the passion she has for every detail she shares or the hardship of the characters.
I feel this book would have been better as a short story but I am glad Lanston got his own ending.

The Harlow Sanctum series has never been just books to me — this is personal.
When I read The Fabric of Our Souls back in January, I had no idea how much it would hurt… and heal me at the same time.
Usually, I read all the books in a series one after another if they’re available — but this time, I couldn’t.
Nine months later, here I am. I read A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope in two days and went through an entire box of tissues. I don’t regret a single moment (and no, I’m definitely not crying while writing this — it’s just allergies, okay?). Anyway, I was already sobbing from the dedication.
I have a whole list of quotes that mean the world to me, and it’s unbelievably hard to put into words how beautiful this book is.
It’s probably not for everyone — honestly, if this series doesn’t resonate with you, I’m actually glad for you. Because some parts hit far too close to home, and that’s not easy to process.
This isn’t just a book. It’s a journey.
A unique, heartwarming, and achingly beautiful emotional journey.
And I’m so grateful to K. M. Moronova for writing this series — because it truly feels like a ray of hope in the middle of darkness.

Lanston’s story
Writing through tears, if the first book didn’t rip my heart out this one got the job done! Only a little spice, this is more emotional thank anything else, but absolutely loved.

I was excited for this story because I loved Lanston in the first book but I found myself unfortunately bored reading it and it wasn’t what I was expecting.

4.75⭐️ I saw a comparison to how Lanston and Ophelia were giving Tate and Violet from AHS without the extreme toxicness and I found that truly beautiful and accurate. Lost souls finding solace in each other. This duology really hit home for me. I hope the dead truly do get to cross over and find peace and closure after their endings on earth. ❤️🩹
“Of course it hurts… I think it always will. But most things that wound your heart like this are worth it. It only hurts because of how precious we hold them. I’m never alone, not really, because I know I will carry the weight of them with me forever.”
“We are all ruined in some way, bruised and scarred. But those are the parts I love most in others, so I want her to see mine too. Love isn’t conditional. The broken pieces of us should be where we start, not what we inevitably dig up after years of peeling back layers, only to be tired and skeptical.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 Absolutely spellbound by A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope by @K.M.Moronova! 👻💔 This spin-off to The Fabric of Our Souls (seriously, READ THAT ONE FIRST!) dives into the emotional journeys of Lanston and Ophelia, two lost phantom souls. Their story is so heartwarming and poignant, exploring themes of hope and connection in the afterlife. Lanston's yearning for peace and Ophelia's guarded past had me completely invested. Moronova's writing is just beautiful! If you loved the first book, you NEED this one! Prepare for all the feels! 😭✨

Side note…make sure you have your tissues ready!

And this book is another reason why KM is my favorite author ever 🥹🖤 I have never felt so connected to characters in a book before reading the fabric of our souls and now this book. This book was so beautifully written.
“𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 𝑼𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒅𝒊𝒆—𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒆’𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒍𝒆𝒇𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒆𝒍, 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅.”
“𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒔 𝒂 𝒍𝒐𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚. 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆, 𝒊𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆.”
The ending of the fabric of our souls had me mourning Lanston’s death and now I feel like I have to let him go and move on, just like he has 😭 I’m so glad he found his love story.
AND THE NAME LANNY?!?! That’s what made me cry. That’s what got me.
I devoured this book in 3.5 hours and highly recommend it!

arc review
i have never read a book as beautiful as this. I have never read a book that continuously shattered my heart whilst putting it back together. I have cried so many tears, i felt every emotion. This book was written to the weary souls that dwell on earth, the souls who are alive ,it was written for the souls who seek warmth within the cold of the earth.
This book is a beautiful tragedy, the poetic nature of the book holds you ,it grasps onto your mind and feeds you.
Please go into this book ,being mindful that it focuses on dark topics that can be harmful to many

The way I’m crying at staring at the walls during and after reading this. This book was so BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN! It broke my heart and repaired right after. I will forever be obsessed and in love with Lanston. I stayed up just for it and finished it in one sitting. The author captures everything so beautifully!
Definitely check your trigger warnings though.
Thank you K.m. Moronova for this beautiful masterpiece of a book! 🖤
