"I won't let your ignorance silence my pain."

1. Please read the authors note, if you've read the story. 
2. This was fascinating, the story and it's characters took so many turns in their character development. It all made sense though. There was a lot of hurt and grief in a few days storyline. The characters also had noticeable trauma, and all handled it differently, which is very good writing, because I've also read books where that was completely disregarded. So all in all worth the read, I think it's better to read it not spread out over months though. 
3. Crooked Kingdom vibes at times. 

"Everyone else feels like being caught in the rain. You're the whole tsunami."
