Crescent city book reviews! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Underrated series!

(As always I will not give spoilers!)

I loved the modern uses of magic!

The characters- some more than others- definitely caught my attention and love ❤️ (and some tears! 😭)

TOG and ACOTAR live forever in my heart and now I can add Crescent City 🖤

Overall, I really enjoyed this series!
