”he’d fallen in love slowly and quietly, and it was a quiet sort of love, full of phrases left unsaid, laced with dreams. he had imagined himself a man for her, and he allowed her to see the extent of this man, and he gave her this speck of heart, which was a man, to hold for a moment before taking it back the second before it faded.”

 

screams into the void silvia moreno-garcia i am in love with you this book is so evocative and powerful and beautifully written and every word in it feels so carefully considered and put together with such care i’m in awe 

the mythology and the world building was so well done and the characters are gorgeous. i love it so much her writing is so quietly exquisite

I liked the premise but unfortunately did not enjoy the books as much as I was meaning to. I liked the main character but I wish we got more of the side characters because it felt like they didn't have enough depth to me. Also, wasn't the biggest fan of the romance. Usually I like "the Death and the Maiden" trope but here it felt underwhelming and developed too fast. Nonetheless, I liked the mythological aspect and it was a fun adventure.
