When I read "gothic sapphic romance" I immediately knew I was going to love this.
I don't know where to start because I enjoyed every single part of it.
A magic medieval castle filled with moss and nature narrated so beautifully I could feel like I was there. A curse that caught me in the first pages of knowing about it I simply couldn't stop reading. A love story full of desperation and drama, it was so heartrending... It got me kicking my feet.
I don't have enough words to describe this book. It talks about lonliness, to feel unwanted, to feel like you don't fit in, and the way it's written makes you empathize with the characters, you just want them to have a happy life full of the love they both deserve.
I loved how complex and mysterious the Witch was, I wanted to know every secret she was keeping. The way Mina described her with so much love I felt like I was falling for her too. Also I feel like Mina is such a relatable character.
I must say this book is really heavy on the vibes, it is very atmospheric and definitely an autumn read tho I read it in summer and I still enjoyed.

I think this book took me out of a huge reading slump, it even kept me awake at night reading.

In conclusion, I loved it so much, I really recommend it if you like atmospheric books full of secrets and drama.

I'm not giving it 2 stars (and I'm being generous) because I enjoyed it but because even if I was having a terrible moment I simply couldn't stop reading it. I'm happy I read it so fast so I could forget about it faster.
I don't know if it's the writing style or if it's just that I didn't really like the plot since the beginning but yeah, that's it.

I have never in my life cringed that much, I get why people like it but this book just isn't for me. I hate the miscommunication trope with all of my heart. I can't stand the characters, why don't they sit with each other and express their feelings from the beginning?
The +18 scenes were written in a really vulgar way or was it just me?? Like you can write a sex scene with a lot less descriptions (and obscene language lmao) and I will know perfectly what is happening, this just felt like a smutty fanfic and I'm not vibing with it, sorry. Maybe it is just me and I don't get the hype about it. Also wtf was going on because I didn't understand anything even with a whole lot of descriptions.

Maybe this genre isn't for me, like I love a good romance but this... This didn't make me feel anything and when I read romance I expect feeling something.

I don't think this book is going to stay much in my head, it isn't that memorable, and if it does it's because I'll remember this agony I felt while reading it. I'll probably forget everything in less than a week.

Also, I have never seen any of the Star Wars movies so maybe that's something that influences my opinion. Maybe if I was a Reylo fan I could have enjoyed it??? Idk.

I'm sorry for my poor friend who lent it to me and was so excited to see if I was going to like it too.

Siempre me han encantado las historias de fantasía con inspiración medieval. Hacen muy bien su trabajo en evadirme completamente de la realidad y este libro no es una excepción. La forma en la que la narración te transporta completamente al mundo mágico y hace que te olvides de que estás leyendo.

Una historia muy original y, aunque alguna escena se me hizo predecible, me he llevado muchas sorpresas. La procedencia de Uri, que no te esperas para nada hasta el final (o por lo menos a mí no se me pasó por la cabeza). Las dinámicas entre los personajes. Todo en la obra me ha encantado.
Quizás me hubiese gustado ver más del bosque y descubrir con más profundidad a las criaturas mágicas.

He visto que a algunas personas no les gustó el final pero para mí no podrían haberle dado uno mejor. No todas las buenas historias deben terminar con un "y fueron felices y comieron perdices" e igualmente esta no la veo como una tragedia. Siento que sigue siendo un final bastante optimista. Además, aunque el conflicto se cerró rápido al final (cosa que temía al ver tan pocas páginas que me quedaban para terminar), tampoco se me hizo precipitado.

Leyendo la sinopsis tenía una expectativa muy alejada a la realidad pero esta me ha gustado más de lo que esperaba.
