"I swear this book speaks to my soul. It’s a beautiful book:) highly recommend but it’s definitely not for everyone 😁"

Anne Sintay

"This fantasy novel is a breath of fresh air among all the grit that is so popular in this genre. Th3 stakes are still high, the threats are still real and present, but the moments in between are so bittersweet and full of whimsy."
