shadereads's review against another edition
This book is so slow. I can feel myself wanting to groan every time I go to pick it up, and I know that's not what I want when I read something. I just wish it was either a little faster paced or that there were some more meaningful interactions between the characters Hessa meets along her journey.

From start to finish I was hooked. I love the vividness of the characters and the harrowing plot. I feel the rage and the grief, the writing is that good.

The self harm tag refers to ritual bloodletting, but self administered and could well be upsetting for some readers.darkefyres's review

As intriguing as the story is, I found it too slow for my ADHD to truly enjoy and immerse myself in it.
