It has been so long since I've read a book that had me this invested. Ravyn and Elspeth have my whole heart.
Rachel Gillig has such a way with words. I found myself immersed in this richly woven world filled with dark magic and complex characters that you immediately start caring about. I was kept on the edge of my seat throughout the entire read, with some predictable plot twists, but also some truly thrilling twists that I could not see from a mile away.
This book is a must-read for anyone who loves fantasy with a dark twist and some romance elements.

Holy. Okay. The plot was EVERYTHING. First & foremost. Just wow. I loved everything about how the world worked. The characters were so well written & the relationships between them all just melded so well together. I LOVEEE Elspeth so freaking much & the mannerisms between her & RAVYN - gaaaahhhh. Chapter 27 - that's all. Just GAH. Please read. So well done. Ended on such a strong cliff-hanger just having me itch for the next book. So so so well done!
