I still am untangling so much of what happened. What a ride. Plan to reread because there are so many details that you are bombarded with that would have answers, but only if you knew which questions to ask.

Part of it is written in second person and there are perspective switches, which isn’t everybody’s jam. I didn’t mind the second person so much.

Also: it hurt so bad. Tamsyn Muir is ruining my life. This is my favorite book series.

GtN left me absolutely stunned and this one managed to top that effect, by far. The layers, twists and turns of this plot are out of this world. By the end, the plot was twisting so hard I didn't know which way was up and down. And Harrow, dear Harrow, I care about you so fucking much. Together with GtN, easily my favorite book I've read this year.
