A truly beautiful book. I loved the aesthetic. Ghosts, gardens, romance, and necromancy. A winning combination.
The story itself was a bit disjointed. The connections in the second half weren’t very clear. Honestly, I’m not mad about it though. I was perfectly content to be along for the ride.
The characters are all fascinating. I’d love a spin off to see what Reaper gets up to on her own time.
At the back of this edition is an Afterword from the author with their connection to the story and the journey it took along with a Process Artwork section. It was cool to see some of the character designs and progression of the artwork.
A stunning book with beautiful artwork and a sweet story.
