I enjoyed this volume more than the first. I really liked the mirrored poems and the imagery of fire throughout.

I was eager to pick this one up, as I really enjoyed the first collection in this series The Princess Saves Herself in This One, and I'm happy to say that it did not disappoint! I appreciate how raw and honest Amanda Lovelace's writing is, and how she is not afraid to discuss important topics such as assault, abuse and misogyny. I will say this collection was heavier than I remember the first one being, and I would reference the content warnings in my review as well as the content warnings she has placed at the start of the collection.

3.0

It's not as good as her first novel the princess saves herself in this one. She varied her sentence structure and added a bit more depth, but she repeated herself a lot, to the point that it took me out of the poe.. I think Lovelace could benefit if she wrote her thoughts thoughts and feelings as a memoir or as flash fiction instead. I found myself wanting more context for her advice, homages, and quotes, too. 

But it was still good enough to read I'm one sitting, especially since poetry is a genre that I'm new to.
