Definitely a historical novel and very well written. Different from the style of books I usually read. Different but very good. More serious feeling but not too heavy? The setting felt so real.

Can't wait to read the next one!

It was cute

I didn't realize how selfish he was in the book. The movies make him look nice.

The best book I've read in years! It's so nice to read really good writing.

Was great! Love this author. Inner struggles and coming of age trials, awesome!

Slice of life, literally. I think the whole thing flowed really nicely. I'm already grieving today so I was in just the right mood for this book. Cathartic. Some of the other reviews said the pacing was too slow I I felt like it could have been even slower. I like to read about people just living.

I check this page every couple years but it's always the same.

I'm going to need to pause my Alexis Hall full catalogue bingefest for a few books because the angsty bitter angst, self doubt, and beginning of childhood trauma healing of this series was emotionally draining and I'm tired and sad.
I've been reading too much and my brain is fried.

The world building in this trilogy is so beautiful. One of those series where at the end you feel like you have left part of yourself behind.


I will definitely be rereading.

Fuuny, didn't figure out the killer until it was revealed in the book. Made me want to write :-D haha

Next book, book 5

Crazy stuff!

I love Steris so much!

✨✨Silly and whimsical as expected ✨✨
Magical beings mixed into a mortal world in the regency.

I don't relate to the strong desire to pair off and reproduce, but it was a really interesting story.

I'd only be ok with this alien rescue mission if I wasn't a woman. Pumping out babies is not something I would ever want and living in the woods with the constant threat of rape doesn't exactly sound enjoyable either....

I'd prefer to just to die before they started salvaging the earth tbh.

Feelings so subtle that you don't notice they are gently wrapping around your heart getting tighter and tighter until you are crying and can't stop crying. The happiness is also sadness. Just at or slightly below the surface, rarely overwhelming you but never gone. Not sad enough to die but not happy enough to live. Just waiting for the clouds to part for a bit so you can feel the fleeting warmth of the sun on your face before it is gone again. I'm angry at the sadness.

Finishing books like this, that touch my soul, is a sort of death. T.J.'s stories always touch my soul, but this one especially. Especially.

It was also very funny but right now I'm just feeling sad.

Alexis always writes mental health so well. He always makes me feel not alone in the darkness, and gives just the right amount of hope that it might be a bit better or at least manageable in the future.
