I JUST finished this book and I am simply obsessed with the entirety of Stephenia Garber's creations. I... I'm just amazed and bamboozled by everything.
I have been team Jack since Caraval and no one can make me change my mind. This world is simply beautiful and I can't wait to finish it.

At first I thought this book was just a normal book with the female’s pov. But I was face with disappointment when it turns out that the book is in third pov. All and all, the book is amazing and I’m able to finished the book.

Whimsical and fun read. I wouldn’t say it’s amazing but I do find myself loving it and possibly rereading it for fun many times! Additionally, thank goodness I wasn’t tricked into reading a book that seemed like a romantic book but filled with smut: this didn’t have any and I’m so happy about that 😭🤍

“Why are you so angry? Do you think the prince is ugly?” LOL

i am just not a big fan of this author i fear… i see what she’s aiming for, the whimsical magical twists and turns. but her main characters are so stupid and easily manipulated that i find it distracting..

Stellar intro to the series, Stephanie Garber’s world building and original folk lore are really what pulled me into this series (the bells were my favorite part!). Character descriptions in this book were just so tasty, I couldn’t put it down - and yes, OBVIOUSLY I’m obsessed w jacks!
The only reason this isn’t a 5 star review is evasive there were points in the book were I just didn’t really vibe with the writing style, but her the world and story were just so intriguing I couldn’t put it down.
(Ps this books contains heartbreak as a major theme, so I just couldn’t resist tagging it as heartbreaking 💔)

After thoroughly disliking the Caraval series, I was concerned I would not like these either, BUT I had already bought the trilogy (a bad habit I’m hoping to break this year lol). Very pleasantly surprised! I found the characters to be far more engaging and likeable and interesting. The plot was also way more straightforward and MADE SENSE. It was an overall very fun ride. I liked the Northern setting a lot as well. Looking forward to what happens in book 2.

1.75 🌟 I'm sorry but this read like a first-draft. Vangie Fox really wasn't likeable and her dilemmas are so ridiculous at times I couldn't help but wonder why I even bothered to read through her crap. It's entertaining that's why. Like a bad reality-show to guilty/binge-watch.

Such a beautifully developed fantasy world, definitely want to know what happens next

I loved reading this book! It was so good. And i’m in love with Jacks ❤️

4.5 stars easily. I loved every second of this book. Loved it from the characters to the world building to the beautiful imagery and descriptions throughout. It was interesting and gripping from the first page to the last and kept you wanting more. The only reason I haven’t given it five stars is because i’m quite picky when it comes to giving them out but i don’t doubt it’d easily earn itself the rating the moment i reread it and get a taste of how magical the reading experience was again.

And then ... Evangeline felt something that was not heartbreak or regret.

“You also like daylight" Evangeline reminded him.
“I could probably live without the sun if I could trade it for other things." He cocked his head. “I wonder ... if I were to become a true vampire, perhaps my kiss wouldn't be fatal anymore." His fangs length- ened. “You could let me bite you and we could try it out."
um put those gnashers away sir

"Careful, Little Fox, you sound curious. But you shouldn't be." Jacks stopped pacing and drummed his long fingers against the iron gate, tapping a staccato sound. “I lied to Donatella. My kiss is always deadly. I slowed her heart so that it didn't kill her immediately, but it should have ended her life in a matter of days, whether or not she did what I wanted"
“Then why didn't she die?"
“Probably because my heart started beating," Jacks said flippantly.
lolsies imagine losing the love of your life L

“Evangeline stop looking at me like that. You're making this much more difficult." Jacks spoke between clenched teeth.
oh my

“…After I got mauled by the wolf, my scars weren't sexy scars”
"He just said sexy scars" Jacks drawled. “Are you really listening to this?"
"Shh" Evangeline hissed.
omg girl don’t u think my werewolf scar so sexy hm

"Eva... is that you?" The voice had a more soothing timbre than the others, and the familiar sound of it lodged Evangeline's heart into her throat. Luc. She hadn't heard Luc's voice in months, but it sounded just like him, if not a little lovelier. It had to be some sort of vampire trick.
“Don't stop moving." Jacks tugged on her hand. But he should have yanked harder. He should have used his Fated strength because al- though Evangeline's head agreed with Jacks, her human heart made her stop, pull her hand free of Jacks's hand, look up at the cage above, and lock eyes with her first love.
oh that’s not um right okay so you see

The antidote's working," said the girl.
“Does that mean I can let her go?"
“Yes," Evangeline managed at the same moment that the girl said, “No, not unless you want her to die. She'll need close physical contact for at least a full day for the cure to take."
gee wilikers son this is awful convenient

“Jacks?" The voice was feminine and slightly familiar. “What in Fate's name-“
The girl went silent as Jacks pulled the cloak from Evangeline's face.
"She needs you to save her now" Jacks ground out.
she??? or you??? don’t lie

"Hello, my heart" purred Apollo, who stretched across that same bed in a come-hither pose. His shirt was already gone. All he wore was a large amber stone over his bare chest, which glistened with something that looked a lot like oil.
what is the point of this. what.

Prince Apollo: I've done much more than that, Mr. Knightlinger. (With a proud smile, the prince unbuttoned half his shirt and spread it apart to reveal a vibrant tattoo of a pair of swords curved to form a heart that contained one name: Evangeline.)
jail immediate jail so much jail time
![Photo of anya](https://assets.literal.club/user/avatar/clxef6ovg00590i45c5ek2c4p.jpg?size=100)
My dearest Evangeline, I saw this gown and thought of you, because you are an angel. Forever your truest love. Apollo
YUCK YUCK YUCK YUCK
![Photo of anya](https://assets.literal.club/user/avatar/clxef6ovg00590i45c5ek2c4p.jpg?size=100)
Apollo took both of her hands in his warm grip. “I want you, Evangeline Fox. I want to write ballads for you on the walls of Wolf Hall and carve your name on my heart with swords. I want you to be my wife and my princess and my queen. Marry me, Evangeline, and let me give you everything."
how about i stick a sword up your ass

Jacks frowned. "Why are you so angry? Do you think the prince is ugly?”
he’s worse than that actually he’s a little bitch
![Photo of anya](https://assets.literal.club/user/avatar/clxef6ovg00590i45c5ek2c4p.jpg?size=100)
Since the last time she'd seen him, Jacks had changed his hair to a striking shade of dark blue.
he’s never beating the emo allegations

Evangeline couldn't imagine a more tragic existence. If one Fate were to have sympathy for her situation, it would be the Prince of Hearts.
well you see

“They’d probably gently reassure her that her future was determined by her choices, not her destiny.”

I thought if you came here with me, you might find your confidence again and possibly a fresh start. Nocte Neverending isn’t just a ball, it’s a chance at stepping into a fairytale, at changing the course of your life and finding opportunities that some people search their whole lives for.

“Stop flashing your fangs. I'm the only one who gets to bite her."
Hehehe ok jealousy much?
