my current cozy read. I'm really enjoying it so far :)

The worldbuilding?? Insane. It’s layered and rich and somehow feels both ancient and brand new. And the descriptions?? So vivid you can taste the air in Prague, smell the scorched earth of battlefields, feel the ache of magic in your bones.

It’s whimsical. It’s tragic. It’s haunting in the way old fairy tales are. And the writing?? Some of the most beautiful, lyrical prose I've ever read in YA fantasy. And yet?? No one talks about it.

I need people quoting “once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love” like their lives depended on it. but it’s like everyone collectively forgot one of the most original and magical stories ever written.

I'm sorry but this book deserves a fandom revival IMMEDIATELY.

What are books to you?

Here’s the landmark essay “Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors” by Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop, written in 1990.
