I would give this book 3.5 stars as a a review*
I loved the writing of this book. It was so lovely and it captured me from page one. It is very detailed thought and at points i got lost in the details. I thought the world building was crafted so well and I could not see the twists and turns in the story coming. I felt like the pacing was much slower then I wanted it to be but the characters kept me engaged and overall i really enjoyed it. I hope to read more by this author soon! ( )

It’s very flowery - both the writing and the prose.
It’s also very slow going but I did want to know what the dark ominous secret was so I pushed through. It was fine, the romance didn’t feel real though. ( )

4.5 stars.

I rarely give 5 stars but I feel like this book kind of deserves it? Maybe I’ll change my mind in the next few days and change it.

This book was so atmospheric!
I don’t know how to describe it, but the writing style and the many flowers were beautiful.

The story was slow and I still don’t know in what year all of this is happening, but it got my attention on page 30 when Fel revealed he was from another time. ( )

teen fic (magical realism romance with LGBQ characters).
Count on Anna-Marie McLemore for unique and magical love stories. ( )
