House of Marionne is a lush mashup of Dark Academia and high Fantasy that blend a unique magic system with well developed and profound characters. In this glitzy world where not everything is what it seems, I'm finding myself dying to see Quell's journey to find - and free - herself come to fruition. I want to see her explore her relationship with Jordan and want to see him grow and thrive too. The diversity, Southern gothic culture, enemies to lovers vibes, and deliciously morally gray elements all have me hooked!
