Re-read by listening, and, the voice acting really ads another layer. I love Laudna so much

This book was quite a journey that I wasn't always a fan of. The writing was beautiful, but sometimes the themes hit so close to home to places I haven't really visited in a long time that I struggled personally. There's not really a definitive plot and it kind of meanders, but I guess that's the point as that's Laudna's nature or lot in life. I enjoyed reading it overall, it was just different than I expected.

Wow. I'm a mess. Laudna is such a powerful character, and this book did more than justice to her story. Well-written, well paced, and impossible to put down. It was a very delicious read, an interesting deep dive into the character's psyche. Very emotional, my love for Laudna only grows. Many things in this book shine brighter knowing the beautiful future ahead of her, she has a family and the love of her life. The epilogue only cemented, once again, how Laudna and Imogen were made for each other and were destined to be together from the very first moment. Long live the gays. And, with my heart broken, I hope Laudna gets to meet with Bella again; I hope she can show her first human friend her new friends and her girlfriend; show her she was never a monster, and tell her the story of how her friends defeated Delilah multiple times. Laudna deserves only love.
