 This book was so incredible that I finished all but the last two chapters in one sitting. I truly couldn't put it down. It embodies the "I support women's rights and women's wrongs" trope with the perfect blend of strong female characters and female rage. 10/10. I will absolutely be revisiting this one.

Glad I listened to it so I could hear the pronunciations of the names. 
It’s the classic heroine tale where she doesn’t end up happy but she fiercely protects those she loves.
