adventurous challenging emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Moderate: Death and Violence

Minor: Genocide

I absolutely loved this writing style. I'm not usually a fan of dual pov but this book did it so well, so i might have changed my mind. The characters each have their own unique way of seeing the world and I found myself getting attached to them.

I suspected something would have happened to Renfrew, but i only expected his death, not the betrayal as well!! That scene where Mer decided to trap him with the mud and he smiled at her before she ran away made me have to put the book away for a moment and process it all. The epilougue!! Im so happy they all got the happy ending they deserved <3
