somebody play my tears ricochet immediately!!!

it has been so long since i’ve truly wanted to savor a book the way i did with this one. i was fully immersed from the very first page all the way “To tell a story is in some part to tell a lie, isn’t it?”

somebody play my tears ricochet immediately!!!

it has been so long since i’ve truly wanted to savor a book the way i did with this one. i was fully immersed from the very first page all the way through the last. this was SO GOOD?!?!?

“‘You say the river cares not for the rain, but it is the rain that feeds the river. In time, it can even wear away stone.’ My words were like the fall of my hammer. Strong. Exact. ‘I am not afraid of you. Because without me, you would be nothing.’”

the atmosphere in this book - phenomenal. the cold and gray weather the past few days honestly added to my experience reading this. i loved the magic system and lore as well!

“‘He was afforded another chance, as if by magic, to believe in something. He’d never be a very good knight, but every time he looked at the woman, he had the distinct faith’ -his eyes roved my face- ‘that things could be better than they’d been.’”

the characters in this absolutely stole the show oh my god?!? i adored sybil’s character and loved seeing her growth throughout the book. tbh she’s probably going to remain one of my favorite FMCs. rory was quite literally perfect - LOVED his character!!!! the side characters were also amazing and i am a sucker for found family trope 😭

also perhaps the real star of this one is the gargoyle omg i loved him so so much. he was hilarious and had great one liners but also has so much depth to his story and character.

“The thing is - I think I’d do anything you asked of me.”

THE ROMANCEEEEEE MY GOD i was actually eating that up like genuinely kicking my feet, giggling, twirling my hair. the way rachel wrote the romantic scenes… even (especially tbh) the littlest interactions between them…. OH MY GOD i don’t want to say anything else in lieu of spoilers but also because i don’t think i can form a properly coherent thought rn.

“I was losing my faith in everything. But the two of us meeting…it felt almost divine.”

this was SO GOOD and is definitely going to be one of my top reads of the year. anxiously waiting for the next book. ...more "

"“King Castor’s finger, slightly wobbly, pointed once more. ‘The pretty one.’

Rory’s eyes flitted to me.”
