The writing style is sometimes confusing, and there were a few sentences I had to go back and read over again. But this book is definitely worth the effort

I wish some things were explored more,
I loved Alok and Cyrah (especially her, I adore her) so much. they felt so real to me and I just want to know more about them, but this shouldn’t be a series. I like where the stories were left.
I often skim reviews before reading a book, and I read multiple times about how (summarizing) gory and gross this book is but it honestly felt very tame. yes there’s entrails and sinew and blood but it wasn’t as much as I was led to believe. am I the weird one? there IS a lot of piss imagery but it’s about a werewolf-type of creature. they’re dogs. they are territorial. it makes sense!
anyway, I was really bewitched by this book. i’ve had it sitting on my shelf for years and just never picked it up for some reason but I’m so glad I finally read it!
additionally: I often read the acknowledgements and all the extra stuff at the end of books and I was very pleasantly surprised with the final lines in das’ acknowledgements. very indicative of their character and I do appreciate this inclusion.
content warnings in moderate tag bc i’m lazy

In reading other reviews on this book, I was shocked and saddened to see some people claiming this was somehow a proponent of certain, unforgivable acts
The same goes for
Overall, I worry about this black and white way of thinking of all characters must be Good or Bad and anyone who isn't the pinnacle of humanity must be properly punished by the narrative to prove that it's not an endorsement. I hate when authors slam me over the head with what they want to say, and you should too. I also think people should be open to reading uncomfortable things, and not immediately writing something off without fully digesting it in its entirety.
TLDR: the puriteens are at it again and as a survivor myself, this book was viscerally beautiful and deserving of a full read.

There's also a lot of pee in this book. because idk, they're werewolves. I did kinda hate this too lol but I understand why the author added this in.sammysamsam's review against another edition
