Weeeelllllll, let me just tell you all the best things!⠀ •⠀ #𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲⠀ All the #Amatsukami and #Kunitsukami are present and accompanied by a wealth of legendary creatures. Everyone is so magical and wonderful you won't be able to help but adore them.⠀ •⠀ 𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬⠀ I mean, that kind of stands on its own, but you want to be there for that, trust me!⠀ •⠀ 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 ⠀ There's some truly awesome character growth arcs and Emi (one of the MCs) has the best one of all. Far from your average YA heroine she kept me rooting for her the entire series.⠀ •⠀ There's also some pretty special, if unlikely friendships that form in the series and I can't help but miss them now I've finished my reread.⠀ •⠀ 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧, 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞⠀ One of the swooniest romances I've read I just love this OTP of mine.⠀ •⠀ 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬⠀ I certainly did. Again. 🙈 I can't help but get drawn so deeply into the story each time I read it.⠀ •⠀ 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐠𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬⠀ At 10 full pages per book (you can swipe to see an example) these are absolutely GORGEOUS and some of my favourite book illustrations ever.⠀ •⠀ 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬⠀ Lastly, have you SEEN these beauties? Do you realise how amazing they look on a shelf? #justsaying⠀ •⠀ This #kitsune resin pendant is from the amazing @chiquicreates. They aren't available from her store anymore but there are plenty of other gorgeous offerings! ⠀ •⠀ #becauseofreading #booklife #booktography #AnnetteMarie https://www.instagram.com/p/B_hEXBTg_km/?igshid=13ikzvyfp6ni7
