's review

it was ok

princess rose is mother wife and child but this book reminds me of the dusty fantasies at the back of the school library. also, fanfic authors on goodreads, please write a sapphic romance with rose + celeste. (because they're both gorgeous girls but shen and the weird other guy are the human equivalents of raw spam.)

update: too much magic not enough realism
----------------------------------------
magic realism is magic and escapes real realism which is horrible

i’m a twin. this book is literally every day of my tween life, with much higher stakes. but fighting for a kingdom and fighting for your own room is basically the same thing, right?

adira @mitra oh my goodness! it really is a struggle but i'd hate being an only child. you got to have your own room? (i hold grudges can you tell) thank you!


&#x1f4da; Alana (professional book nerd) Hahaha I can’t relate, I’m an only child


Imme [back from hiatus!] van Gorp LOLLL fair enough; sounds like the same thing to me too😌💅🏻


adira @Imme fighting for your own room is arguably higher stakes and also literally life or death..i’m so glad you understand!

s.penkevich Ah bummer sorry this one didn’t work for you. Agreed, I can enjoy some magic but I prefer the scales to tip towards realism.


adira @s.penkevich i was promised powerful witches !! it had so much potential :/ thank you regardless!

Fair. But truly, a disappointment on a promise of witches is amongst the greatest of disappointments. I think this every day I do not encounter a witch :(
Perhaps we need to start a coven.


adira @s.penkevich i don’t know how a goodreads coven would work but that sounds intriguing.
