I adored this book. A witchy sapphic story of pain, the weight of duty, love and loss. A journey of healing and choosing yourself for once. I wanted to give Ranka a big hug for all the pain she went through in this book, but by the end I had tears of happiness in my eyes

Unique magic system and heartbreaking characters, along with a rather twisty plot. A solidly good fantasy read! Plus points for sapphic as usual

the start was a bit shaky, but once i got into it i was in love with all of the characters. the plot wasnt predictable at all and it was really hard to tell the outcome of things. i loved the romance in it, and the happy parts had me smiling so big. definitely one of my new favorite books

My absolute favorite part of this book is the fact that no one's sexuality has to be explained by the audience. Also, kudos for the message to being choose your first before all else. However, it was obvious the book was written by a younger author.
