This book is so gorgeously written, dense, emotional, magical, and atmospheric. From the start, there is an almost fairy-tale like quality to this book that really makes you want to read it more and more. I loved how well both the characters and the plot are developed so quickly in this story and how the plot begins and does not let up until the very end and the book is over! The atmosphere and environment just feels so lush with details and descriptors, almost as if you can actually see/smell/hear the city and the overall setting. I loved the love story of this book and the overarching idea of love and how it can change through time and experience. This book, with its interesting plot-line and Magic is a must read!
