Short and sweet. Loved Lilith in The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King and it was great to get her backstory and romance with Vale. I think it might have made this story less lovable if I hadn’t already met these characters so I am glad I read it them in the order that I did. Probably doesn’t hurt that I knew in advance they would get their HEA. 

I am not neurodiverse. But I love and work with many who are. They might differ in their read of Lilith. But from my perspective, Broadbent crafted a nuanced and compelling character whose neurodiversity was so often misunderstood and yet it was also a source of her strength. And she is loved for it, not in spite of it.
