I almost put this book down, but I’m glad that I didn’t. There are certain moments that are so dark maybe unnecessarily so. It’s hard to reconcile the past of this character with their present. That I’ll being sad I think the world is quite interesting, the characters have depth, and it’s definitely worth a read.

Leigh Bardugo's writing chops are as strong as ever - strong enough to keep me going even amid unbuilt characters and a few too many sexual assault cases that were never remarked upon again afterward. The intended audience might just be Yale alums like Bardugo herself.

This book is brilliant, but if you aren't prepared for an unflinching story of a hard life of a girl who has been plagued by SV her whole life, I'd recommended not reading it until you are.
