 This story is beautiful and solidifies that Marie Lu's writing  to this day can still make me cry. 

 Fun fact about me before you read this review : I had a minor in Woman and Gender Studies. One that I completed spring of 2021. 

A real life firgure like Marianne Mozart is  why I refuse to keep my mouth shut when it comes to my opinion.  And incorporating characters in stories that have sensitive men who listen, validate and help women and women of color. 

While she had many privileges and rights  growing up getting  her due recognition  and respect  was never one of them. And for that reason  I will continue  to be critical of men and women who I'm around to not live in delusion of the  western  society's  patriarchal oppression.
