4.5

This book was so absolutely amazing. Dark and painful but beautiful nonetheless. I read both on kindle and listened on audio and the narrators were fantastic, especially given the  narrator for Styx did his stutter very well.
I’m so excited for more of the books in this series (especially Riders, don’t come at me).

A heavy theme in this series is religious abuse and cults and the things that happen in them.
