Omg this book - it’s incredible but extremely dark. I liked the first book in the duology more, but maybe that’s partially because this book is *so* grim. The characters do such horrible things, and there were parts of this book that were extremely hard to read.

But the gender chat, the queer chat, the patriarchy chat, the writing, the push/pull between desire and suffering, ambition and grief — all immaculate.

I think this book has way more fantasy elements than the first one, and I really enjoyed the system the author set up.

Amazing work. Hard to read. Maybe it should be 5 stars, but putting 4.75 just bc my god some of this is rough.

Make sure to check the triggers on this one.
