Thoughts:
When I started this book, I'm going, to be honest, I thought it was mainly a fantasy...I was wrong lol. Since this book was mostly a romance, I didn't think that I would like it that much because I normally don't read romance, but I cannot tell you how much I loved this book! *cue the heart eyes* I think that my favorite element of this book actually ended up being the romance between Tova and Pierce, and the development of the characters throughout the story! The relationship between Tova and Pierce was so adorable! I loved the way that Havana Wilder wrote the romance into the action of the plot! I felt like she wrote it in a way that really connected with real-life, which is a wonderful aspect to read about in a book because, in my opinion, most authors struggle with doing this, especially in fantasy books! Overall I think the best parts about this book were the romance, the character development, and the plot! My action-loving self loved the plot because there were times where it was very intense and times where it was like a lovely play about two lovers, and I absolutely loved the balance! I can't believe how deeply I cared for this book, I mean how could you not get attached to Tova and Pierce?? Just the way the romance developed through the stress and action of the plot, I can't, it's just too good! You will be in for a lovely time with the romance, fantasy, action, and dystopian elements woven into the plot!!
