This book was such a surprise! I was not expecting to become so invested in this characters and a story about war.

I like how strong Iris is, I like how fearless Kitt is, I like Attie, and Marisol - this book has bunch of interesting and unique characters.

I loved all the twists and turns the plot took, just when I thought I had everything figured out, something completely blindsided me and I was caught of guard.

I can't wait to read the second book, find out more about these Gods, about Forest and how it will all end.

I think this book is loosely based on WWI war tactics so if that’s triggering for you, skip it

3.5

Danggg ok by the end of this I am in. There are a few things that knock it down for me, mostly the ridiculous overusage of nicknames etc and some of the writing style is just cringy and/or lacking for me buttttt Roman wins it for me and I’m hooked enough now to want to know what happens!
