All in all it was a good book!
Pros:
Pros:
- I loved the world building
- A lot of LGBTQ* and POC characters
- Taesia!!!!
- Liked the plottwists!!!
- The story was really interesting and I will totally read the second book
Cons:
- It took me reeeeaaaaallyyy long to read the book
- A lot of text on the pages, was a pain in my ass to read that
didn't liked the part where Angelica was at a brothel, thought that is problematic because it was portrayed as kind of normalised and there wasn't a word about the suffering that can be involved with prostitution - The last 100 pages there was a lot going on, that overwhelmed me a bit
