I love how the book explored misogyny and homophobia within this world. Nothing ground breaking, but within the realms of this world and characters glorious to explore nonetheless.
The characters were stunning. I loved them all for different reasons. Some I loved, some I wanted to be friends with and some I just wanted to strangle, but they were so interesting and gave you more perspective on the story and relationships. It took me a while to warm up to Rake and wasn’t so sure about getting into his perspective. But once I did I enjoyed myself reading through his eyes just as much as with Flora and Evelyn.
Flora and Evelyn were beautiful. Their love for each other made my heart flutter and ache, and I was rooting for them from beginning to end. Their romance was the best part of the book by far.
