Got Color Wheel (Red) and Small Book (under 300 pages)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a really fun culmination of the duology, & I loved the addition of Asen‘s point of view in book 2!
This is accessible, enjoyable fantasy with witches, monsters, humor, heart, & romance.
Such a good find from the Caffeine and Legends subscription box.

“It was just after midnight, and the chimes of the clock tower still echoed in the empty streets as Kosara rushed down a dark alleyway.”

I really liked this book! It came in a subscription box my husband bought me last year.
Based on Bulgarian folktales, Dimova does a great job weaving monsters, witches, action, mystery, and even fits in some humor & the barest hints of romance. I also really enjoyed Zura Johnson‘s reading of the audiobook.
Dark fairy tales often catch my interest, and I‘ll definitely read book 2 to see how it all wraps up!

This book was a great intro to certain characters in the second book of the serpent and the wings of night. I cannot wait to continue the series 🥹❤️ Also, can‘t wait for Vale and Lilith to hopefully be in book 2 🥰

But sometimes things must break before they can be made whole again, so that they can be forged into something stronger.

“When you said my name... the stone within me suffered a crack. And I don't regret that it did, because I had forgotten how vital it is to be known for who you are, and not for who you pretend to be. I had forgotten how good it is to be seen, even with flaws and scars. I wanted you to see me.”

“It was nearly midnight on New Year‘s Eve, but the city inside the Wall didn‘t celebrate.”

"It will make you colder. But even the deepest of ice eventually gives way to fire, Clementine."

I fell in love with the cover of this book and was drawn to its premise of Faustian vibes. I‘ve always loved reading about the occult, but the excitement I felt in the first couple of chapters in this book quickly died down. The story dragged on without any real focus on the main event, and went into a love triangle instead. This book was more relationship than the dark vibes I was looking for…I didn‘t hate it but it wasn‘t what I hoped for.⬇️
