I really enjoyed this book, I found Faron and Elara to be excellent protagonists. Elara, pragmatic and noble to her very core, while Faron is a wild card of just *vibes* most of the time, were great opposites of each other, and an interesting way to show differences in siblings while their values mostly aligned.

My favourite quote, I have to say would be Faron's:

"She'd always been good at this part: bargaining, haggling, lying. Gael Soto was all confidence, all ageless radiance, but she was a little shit."

The small cliffhanger got me good, and I will be waiting eagerly for the next book :)

I really liked this story, the dual pov and how it unfolds. But I hated one of the main characters so it was at times a bit of a drag to get through.

Library hold ran out I might come back but I marked it as DNF cause I’m very indifferent about finishing it. So much so that it’s confusing me. I like the lead characters but don’t care much about the plot or the ppl around them.
