The longer I sit with this, the more I realize I don't remember anything about this book. I did have a good time trying to figure out the mystery.  I will be reading book two and three and I hope Wrath and Emilia's relationship get more developed because it was not giving the tension at all. I think Wrath was modeled after Ryhs from ACTOAR

3.5/5

I feel a bit confused by the ending. And also about the dynamic between Emilia and Wrath. I know I'm supposed to ship them, but I don't know if I do.

Rep: white Sicilian-Italian female MC, white Sicilian-Italian side characters, BIPOC male side character (Indian coded).

CWs: Blood, child death/loss of sibling, death, gore, grief, murder, self-harm (cutting for blood to power spells), violence, magical compulsion and brief mention of unwanted touching.
