4.5

This book was an expertly woven tale of grief, shame, perseverance, and just, LIFE, all packaged into a fantasy book that traps you in its world building and ties your heart strings to the characters. 

If you are stuck at the beginning and the start feels sluggish, KEEP GOING! all of that will make sense. it will all be worth it. 

If you are coming to this book for the sapphic love, know that it is not forefront and it is a SLOW burn. it kinda hits you at the end as it’s one built from friendship and forced proximity. 

I’m off to go devour book 2 because THE CLIFF HANGER?!
