Um livro muito bonito, descrições vivas. O público alvo é o infantil mas isso só é perceptivel na relativa facilidade com o que os conflitos são resolvidos (apesar de tecnicamente o conflito principal não ser resolvido) e na leve simplicidade da política Taliana. Fora isso, o livro é envolvente e a autora não tem medo de mencionar temas pesados como câncer, mortes, intrigas, assassinatos, tudo de uma maneira apropriada, sem a intenção de ser "edgy" ou chocar de propósito. A personagem da duquesa é talvez a mais cativante, com sua moralidade questionavel. Lucien é o mais fraco, como é típico de um protagonista desse gênero. Gostaria de ter visto mais sobre o romance de Sílvia e Rodolfo. Enfim, me diverti, adoro livros de fantasia.

A good read for allos, but a tough read for my aroace self. For a book on the asexual experience, it sure lingers a lot on the way that ace people are *seen* by allos. Not what I was looking for, but valid.

This book is *so* needed right now. Devon says exactly the type of compassionate thoughts I was ashamed of sharing, once again. A must read for everyone.

Main character mildly annoying, which is something awfully common in lgbt books for some reason. I have a hard time liking the main characters, they are always kinda bland. 
I got this book cuz I was questioning if I was aro. I'm still questioning but it helped. Beware tho: For a book about being aro/ace, it had a LOT of annoying relationship drama and the protag apologizes like, 3 million times. It's *really* annoying.
And then Alice did her best to create a wholesome friendship scenario to paint platonic relationships in a good light, and I'm sure many ppl will like it, but the story just didn't "spark" for me. Perhaps the whole "wholesome slice of life queer story" just isn't for me. *shrugs*

Daisy's sexuality was foreshadowed VERY clearly and VERY early

which made a good chunk of the conflict not work. I don't like Nick at all, which is kinda sad. It's not the first time I dislike a trans man protagonist, despite being a trans man myself. Jay was a little more likeable.
To be honest, the story would have been more interesting had it been written through the POV of Daisy.

The audiobook is a masterpiece, with extremely talented voice actors. I had more fun with this than reading the comics even.

Useful advice for artists, if you can read it right.

I recommend it to everyone. It gave me good insights and I think most people will get at least one good thing from this book.
