Iโ€™ll be honest, I was nervous when I saw this was described as Caraval meets Throne of the Fallen, cause ya girl DNF both of those ๐Ÿ˜…

BUT HOLY FUCK YALL!!!

Phantasma was eerie and atmospheric, and was absolutely fantastic from beginning to endโ€”didnโ€™t hurt that Blackwell was Draco coded and an absolute dreamboat either ๐Ÿ˜‰

Also the OCD representation in this was well done! 

- necromancer + phantom 
- deadly competition 
- forbidden romance 
- forced proximity 
- morally grey characters 
- instalove/instalust
