'"Life," he said softly, "is more than flesh. Your body is a candle, your soul the flame. The longer I burn the candle..." He did not finish. "A candle unused is nothing but wax and wick," I said."I would rather light the flame, knowing it will go out than sit forever in darkness."' 
 I am in love. It's just that simple. This book is basically everything that I love. The story is exactly what I love to read. And since I first read the plot, I knew I was going to love it, I mean it almost screams my name, really. 
 Before reading this book, I saw someone recommending this book to people who loved The Star-Touched Queen and Cruel Beauty. Lucky for me, those are two of my favorite books. 
 And this person was right. I LOVED THIS BOOK (I know, you got it by now, but I feel like I need to scream it, I feel the need to through this book at everyone face and scream: 'read this book!') 
 On a serious note (kind of, I tried), everything about this book is stunning. The world is amazing, and I want to leave in it. 
 The characters are some of the favorite I've ever read about. Elizabeth is real, she's strong, she's not perfect or flawless but she is just real. And The Goblin King, I mean can I have my own Goblin King? (scratch that, I want this one, not another one). 
 Yes, there are plenty of musical references. No, I'm not an expert in music, I basically know nothing at all, but it did not bother me at all. I was still able to enjoy the story and the characters. So don't worry if you don't know anything about music, you don't need to in order to enjoy this book! 
 The cover is beautiful, this book is beautiful and I make no sense at all. That will be all for me. READ THIS BOOK.
