“A fool is a man who believes glory can be found at the tip of a sword instead of on the tip of his tongue. That is life’s cruel trick.” — Natalia Jaster.

“The greatest courage a person can have is to love another, for there are only two outcomes. Either the love lasts, and our lives are compromised, or it doesn’t, and our lives are emptied. Either way, we suffer more than we celebrate. I’ve enjoyed suffering with you. We are a tale for campfires. That is all. That is everything.”

My rating:
I loved it! There has not been a more captivating and adorable love story for a while.
The characters, you are quick to fall in love with.
The world, you are yearning to go.
The moments, you experience them wholeheartedly.
I could not love this book more because I have no more room. The prose was some of the best I had ever seen. And the way Natalia Jaster wove in the descriptions and the beasts and the manner of people was incredible.
The scenery was incredibly descriptive and made me want to dive into the world with Seasons and Jesters to try to find my own fool.
The social issues that came into play were underlying and subtly woven in but they played a bigger and larger part than what anybody thought. The way that the Royals handled “born fools” angered me so much but did open my eyes to the “Royals” of the real world and how much everyone could use a reality check.
The ending was adorable and sweet.
The kingdoms and Seasons and everything in between were just as captivating on the page as they are in real life.
To others, our love might still be a hated thing. A dangerous thing.
But we hoped. Someday, it might not seem wrong to everybody.

Briar took in the surprise, her eyes trembling from metal to mist, before she flung herself at me, grabbed my face, and rewarded me with a swift kiss.
