"After all, how can anyone love him if no one really knows him?"

This world and Elfhame will always hold a special place in my heart. This duology was a beautiful read. It's about two characters perceived as monsters who believe they are monsters who love one another for all their faults. There were so many moments I connected with Oak and Wren. I'm actually sad we don't get a third book, but I have my hopes this isn't the same book from this tricksy world.
