«Love was what made you invite death, wish for it, crave it, just so that you could be freed from your own pain. [...] Ayla hadn’t succeeded in cutting out Crier’s heart. So Crier would do it for both of them.»

un enemies to lovers sáfico (pero sólo una de ellas sabe que se tienen que odiar) en un mundo distópico fantástico bastante chulo. me ha molado mucho todo lo que es el conflicto entre automae y humanos, de lo más interesante. la tensión entre ayla y crier >>>
lo que más me ha gustado es el unreliable narrator que resulta ser crier porque estaba tan convencida de su falla que no me vi venir la traición/plot twist del final, te sientes justo como ella se siente al descubrirlo: tonta.
casi le pongo 3.5 estrellas pero voy a ser justa porque han habido dos grandes motivos por los que me ha costado leer este libro, y son externos:
- el libro está fuera de stock en físico (

The biggest reason I finished this book is because I dnf'ed the last two fantasy novel I tried to read and felt bad at the prospect of dnf'ing another (especially when dnf'ing a wlw fantasy during pride month).
The characters aren't very well fleshed out despite way too much time being dedicated to their inner thoughts. The interactions between the love interests also lacked tension and the progression of their relationship made little logical sense. I'm curious about where the plot is heading, but I didn't enjoy the execution of how it's unfolding. The stakes weren't consistent - in one scene Ayla is stopped by a guard while in the palace late at night while in another scene she isn't stopped by anyone despite causing an incident weeks earlier where she should be under higher scrutiny. The worldbuilding was also often confusing. How exactly is the society structured? We open in a market scene were all the merchants are human and all the customers are Automae and Ayla is selling flowers for the royal family? How many Automae are there? What exactly even are Automae and how are they made? Why does the royal family bother paying their servants if they view them as basically livestock? Why aren't humans mad that Automae eat human food that they functionally do not need to live?

Ummm this was pretty good? It’s been a while since I’ve felt the need to immediately order the sequel to a book, but I guess that just changed. 4.5/5

A sapphic fantasy being the first book I finished during pride feels very right.
I loved this book so much.
Yes it's technically YA but it doesn't really feel like it most of the time. I actually didn't realize the characters were younger until about halfway through the book because it reads so much older, probably due to how dark the storyworld is.
This book is very clever when the author wants it to be. I honestly have zero complaints, this was a perfect read (although I wouldn't have complained if it was a tad more adult)
I can't wait to read book 2 and find out if my hunch is correct 👀
