I've always loved stories about time loops and this delivers! Adults with magical superpowers are bound to be complicated and it was really fun figuring out everything with Nerissa as we learn more about the world with her. I love the magic concept and the characters are interesting, I'd love to see more about the world! Citrine is so cool i think they're my favorite <3 and I love that every character's symbolism isn't what they really look like (Veronica isn't the empress, Malindu isn't the hermit, Nerissa isn't what I thought she is, and so on)
The golden ending was very satisfying, Malindu's last confession almost made me laugh out loud because omg same... This was a really fun read, great job!
