Ambessa’s one of my favorite characters from Arcane, so I was really excited to read this, and it didn’t disappoint. I loved the characterization it gave Mel & Bessa . The style wasn’t completely to my taste, but I still loved it

Tragedy enjoyers unite! Ambessa is such a great character, she makes terrible decisions you can't root for her but you feel for her. She destroys her own life but here you also see the foundation of that, her family's influence in shaping her into who she is. C. L. Clark really understood the assignment and captured what is so good and fun about the storytelling in Arcane. My only gripe is the story does take a bit to get going and drags in places
