Tell Me How It Ends by Quinton Li

goodreads

Iris Galacia's tarot cards do more than entertain gamblers. With the flip of her fingers she can predict the future and uncover a person's secrets. But under the watchful eye of her mother, she is on thin ice for pursuing a passion in the family business, and then cracks start to form until eventually she falls through. She is given an ultimatum — a test to prove her worth: earn a thousand coins or leave the business, and the family. Enter Marin Boudreau, a charming young person who can scale buildings and break off doorknobs, who comes for her help to rescue a witch who's been falsely imprisoned in Excava Kingdom. And Marin is willing to pay a high sum for her talents. But saving a prisoner from royal hands isn't easy, nor is leaving home for the first time in eighteen years. Now Iris must learn to trust in herself, Marin, and this new magical world, while racing the clock before the royals decide the fate of the witch, and before any secrets catch up to her.

Mod opinion: I haven't read this one yet, but it sounds interesting.

Book Review : Tell Me How It Ends - Quinton Li

Quick disclaimer : I was honored to receive an eARC of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.

First of all, if you don't follow Quinton on Twitter, what are you waiting for ? You should do it immediately (and maybe preorder their book ?).

TMHIE is a cozy fantasy, with plenty of representation. The characters and overall story is very cute, with many mentions of magic. It also focuses on tarot, which is something I'm interested in, so I really liked the whole aesthetic.

However, I personally prefer when the stakes are a bit higher and we get more action, hence why I gave it 3 stars on GR. I would have loved for the story to be deeper.

What about you ? What did you read recently ?

Personally, I find it so rude that you don't get to know how your WIP ends until you write it. Like, I am seriously enjoying this story, how DARE you tell me I have to write it to know how it ends!?!?
