Ignore my one star rating. I couldn’t get through this book because the subject matter was too much for me to handle, and the one star is a reminder for me to not try to read it again.

This book is stunning and utterly haunting, and I’d recommend it easily. Low rating because I felt the magic element was missing some development, and I personally really dislike plot twists that rely on a first person narrator withholding information from the reader.

This is a fantastic book. It's hard to read at certain points, but it's so beautifully written and is obviously very personal to the author. Highly recommend - but make sure to look at the TWs.
My only issue is that at one point, the main character does something without another person's fully informed consent. It's not ignored exactly, but it felt weird in a book about SA and the trauma lack of consent causes.
Aside from that, though: I loved the magic, I loved the characters, and I loved the writing. 5 stars, easily.

This was not an easy read. I really thought I knew what I was going in to reading this book but I was not prepared. It was heartbreaking, soulcrushing and beautiful. I walk away from this book with a heart that is somehow both weighed down and lifted. Definitely worth reading.
