This rating might change at some point. This book was difficult to read. You know when you’re reading a book and think ‘these topics are hitting too close to home for me in a bad way right now and I should probably stop reading this’ but read it anyway because the storyline has you hooked? Yeah that was me 😅 Hopefully it was worth it but seriously guys it’s well worth checking all of the content warnings for this instead of diving in head first.

On a much lighter note; Noam and Dara are precious and must be protected at all costs.

This book wasn’t a bad book, however it felt like the author lost sight of the themes of The Fever King sacrificing the world and the “bigger picture” to shift the reader’s attention on characters. It wasn’t bad, I just wish the plot was flashed out more.

I also wasn’t sold on the romance between Dara and Noah, it felt unnecessary.
