Book Review 🤪
4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book took me a bit to get into but that may just be because I'm in a book slump😭 but the last half?!?! I didn't want to put it down!
I kept trying to figure out the riddles but I couldn't until the nightmare spelled it out for me😂
"One Dark Window" by Rachel Gillig is a captivating blend of fantasy and gothic elements, weaving a tale that is both dark and enchanting. The story follows Elspeth Spindle, a young woman cursed with a sinister power that she must keep hidden. Living in a world where magic is both revered and feared, Elspeth's journey is fraught with danger and intrigue.
I'm about to start the 2nd book
✨The rest contain slight spoilers✨
Things I want to see:
•I feel like I need her and her father to have a better relationship
•obviously I want Elspeth back in her own body
•i want the Shepard king to get his body back and they can be friends or whatever
•I want the LOVE between her and Ravyn❤️
• I want someone to throw hands with her uncle because WTF why did he turn her in to that awful prince like that
Anyways overall 4/5 stars it was a fun read and wasn't like every other fantasy book l've read lately!
