Has the strongest female characters of any book I've read. Represents motherhood in a new way and explores many of women's strengths often overlooked in literature and history. Has LGBTQ representation and the story makes an impact. I may have shed a tear or two. Can't wait for more of this story!

"She had not understood her feelings. Not then. She had tucked that morning and that sweet kiss away, to cherish only in secret, in darkness – but from then on, her senses were sharp around women. A sharpening not like the tip of a blade, but like music soaring to the height of its power, or an unexpected chill, making her breath catch and her skin awaken. Some women left her with the thought that everything was new and bright."

I am absolutely wrecked in the best way. What a beautiful read.

there aren't enough words in the English language to describe my love for this book, so I will use just one -- Dumai, an ancient word for a dream that ends too soon. This book was my Dumai. thank you, Samantha Shannon, your talent is a genuine gift to this world.

Lost my motivation to read in general, and got lost doing other things.
