This book was such a surprise! I was not expecting to become so invested in this characters and a story about war.

I like how strong Iris is, I like how fearless Kitt is, I like Attie, and Marisol - this book has bunch of interesting and unique characters.

I loved all the twists and turns the plot took, just when I thought I had everything figured out, something completely blindsided me and I was caught of guard.

I can't wait to read the second book, find out more about these Gods, about Forest and how it will all end.

if you liked The Cruel Prince (as I did), you'll probably like this book! the voice actors really did their thing with this one, nothing to complain about 🤷‍♀️ Iris and Roman are my babes 😭

a lot of descriptions of war and injured (and dead/dying) soldiers, bodies lying around (stepping over them), quite graphic.

The book is beautifully written but extremely sad an I would recommend to check trigger warnings and maybe being in a stable headspace and maybe already own the second book so you can continue reading.
