Thank you, Sourcebooks Fire & NetGalley, for the chance to read and review this book. All my words are my own!
"There are so many things I want to do to you. And one day, I might." OH MY GOD, THAT WAS A GOOD LINE.
Exes to Enemies/rivals to begrudging lovers, I like it! It was done so well, honestly; if it were any more hateful and chemistry filled, it would be my perfect idea of enemies to lovers!
I truly loved the complicated and complex characters. Our main character tries only to do good things for their family; they do not think things through enough, but it's because of the seriousness of their family situation and the fact that they are indentured servants (slaves). I wanted to scream a few times to her father and brother, LIKE THE SITUATION MAKES IT ALL SHITTY, and IT AINT HER FAULT!
The mysterious creature makes me want to read more South Asian mythology because I found the creatures fascinating. I did think there would be a lot more influence and mythology/culture in it, but I enjoyed it all the same!
