REVIEW
5 out of 5
Y’all… I need book two like yesterday. I am in love with this book and these characters. The world-building was top-tier, I could literally spend days just wandering through this amazing world that Atkinson has built. Abbigail is absolutely amazing, I loved her sarcastic personality from start, and her bond with her friends (found family would be more accurate, I think) was heart-warming. While she’s bonded to Brigid, in some ways, I think she’s also bonded to the others, even if it isn’t as deep a one. The story itself has good pacing, with plenty of tension, twists, and vivid descriptions to keep you hooked and turning pages. I have to warn you, it’s really easy to lose time once you start reading, so make sure you have plenty of time to read before you dive in!
