Also, I never read the epilogue of a book. My brain is convinced that if it was that important for the story, it would have been in the chapters, ya know? READ THE EPILOGUE. It’s so important in this book and was so wonderful and wrapped everything up in a neat little bow. Absolutely brilliant, will be rereading.
Side note: the fact that Yadriel’s dead name is never actually given in the book is absolutely gold. It is not necessary for the plot, and I am so glad it was never added. It may seem like a small detail but I can absolutely tell it was intentional, thank you.

Yes, this is my review and what about it?
Anyway, how can a book be the most devastating and at the same time the most wholesome, totally predictable and still the most thrilling thing I've read in a long time? Did I cry? You bet! I love these characters so much it HURTS physically. The world building is phenomenal, I'm still in awe.
Listened to it on audiobook and absolutely fell in love with the narrator. Who is trans and Latinx. And at the end there was an interview between the narrator and the author (who is also trans and Latinx) which gave me life! And now I want to lie in bed, stare at my blank wall and wait for a sequel.
