"I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones. "

7/10
• fractured fairytale, and i love those
• HAD A MAP!!! 🩷
• lush descriptions of EVERYTHING, settings, appearances, foods, etc. totally ripe with sensory detail (sometimes gets to be a lot, but if you’re into that kind intense detail/worldbuilding it doesn’t bother)
• good good memorable characters, the villain is truly so evil it made my skin crawl, female protagonist was good - confused but not defenseless, male protagonist was more than just a hot guy, had his own thing going on (but also he was really hot)
• weird emphasis on how small the female protagonist is, which personally annoyed me
• little bit of a dubious age gap (17 x 20)
• good love story, big emphasis on being friends before lovers and both sides being equal in the relationship, got to be corny sometimes but overall very cute
• lots of exposition before the actual meat of the story, was a little tedious but was well written so i couldn’t complain too much
I can’t get enough of Jonathan’s complete turnarounds when writing
“I am sure I am going to die here…. Oh! my coach!:)”
“It is a grim and horrific adventure I have embarked upon, surely this is not normal for men such as myself. By the way! I’m a real lawyer now! yayyyy:D”
