Reminds Me of: African Mythology, meets feminist themes, meets EPIC battles
Three Reasons You Should Read This:
1) The cover - I mean come on. This is GORGEOUS!
2) The powerful messages of feminism and anti-misogyny are on pointe!
3) There were so many twists that I did not see coming and I audibly gasped a few times! :)
One Thing You Should Know Before You Pick it Up:
This is extremely violent!! This should be expected in a book that features so many battle scenes, but please know going in - a LOT of violence!
Content Warnings: death, death of a loved one/parent, extreme violence, misogyny, mutilation, rape, sexual abuse/sexual abuse of a child, torture, trauma

I really enjoyed this book. Full of twists and turn the story is really interesting and grabs you right from the beginning. The story is very character driven, all of them really evolve, and that is very interesting to witness. All the girls are so strong and powerfull, I love it!
On a less positive note, I think that the story really lacks more detailed descriptions of the creatures (deathshrieks). I'm not a very imaginative person so, throughout the reading, I really struggled to compose a clear picture of the creatures in my brain.
This was a great, and very interesting, reading and I'm curious for the next book.
