I’m currently reading The Knight and the Moth and this might be the perfect book to deep read.

It's a gothic romantasy set in a more historical world (no phones, horse riding, all that) and HIGHLY detailed.

Earlier this year, I tried the audiobook first and had to DNF because I genuinely couldn’t follow 😭 the language is so dense that you HAVE to slow down and actually sit with it.

I honestly never 'deep read' fantasy books, but if I was, I’d be tabbing:
– foreshadowing ( I feel like she's dropping so many hints)
– little details that feel important
– imagery
– character growth

this is one of those books where everything feels very intentional. No detail is just haphazardly thrown in.

I lowkey wanna go back and tab the prologue because I just know there was a ton of important info there… it didn’t really make sense at first, but now that I’m deeper in the story, I can tell it’s one of those “it all comes together later” situations.

This book is very mysterious, you kinda just have to keep reading and let the details build until you get the full picture.

I’m reading it casually right now, but I already know I’m probably missing things that would’ve been so good to annotate 😭and I don’t think every book needs to be annotated or tabbed, but this one?? this would be SUCH a good series to do that with… especially since it’s a shorter duology.

I’m not even done yet and it’s already a 5⭐️ for me… I might even like it more than One Dark Window
