This is an exceptional, delightful tale brimming with mystery and imagination. Em and May are beyond adorable, and the richness of the world they inhabit and lore of which they are a part is absolutely enthralling. A must read.

I liked this, I really did and I'm so glad it's a series because I get to go back to Me and May and their world.

I loved this book! I have yet to read the second one but I assure you that the first had me wishing I had a hard copy! I was in love with the relationship dynamic of all of the characters and I loved it all. I fell deeply in love with every character.
