Also, I would have liked a tiny bit more in the way of an epilogue.

I loooooved the role of women in this book and the men being like helpful side characters
I love the parallels between this book and the real world regarding misogyny.
Another fun parallel is the concept of balance of nature which I 100% believe in this world as well.
My thoughts on the ending - ⚠️⚠️SPOILERS ⚠️⚠️
I kinda loooved the witch of the woods character. Slayed.
👎 missing Margrets marriage
I’m glad they didn’t give up their respective careers and paths but 10 years 😭😭💔💔 I wish their betrothal was more of a moment than her just saying have you heard of this thing… I totally love and get them following their own paths but oft it broke me.
Tane??? Damp with blood? Huh? What a cliff hanger. But I’m so glad nayimathun didn’t die.
I love loth and margrets impending swap of responsibility and just both of their characters in general I love.
Roos. What a roller coaster I felt for that man. I was sobbing at the end regardless. Aleidine is mother and queen for what she did and her attitude. EVEN WANTING TO SET NICKLAYS UP AGAIN. I CANT.
I feel like the end went by really quick and got wrapped up really quickly. But I also like how it all played out anyways. I feel like the battle also could’ve been longer or had more go wrong but I’m also not complaining.
I think the slow start and the fast wrap up is what doesn’t get it to a 5⭐️ for me but I loved it all the same.
