Speechless!!!! This book!!!! Was amazing!!!!!
- the raw and real representation of colonialism & the effects of it. Addiction, mental illness, & self harm rawness that was all done with such care and very tastefully!
- an extremely fun romance with all the good tropes (done sooooo well also): enemies to reluctant comrades to will they/won’t they yearning to lovers, knife to the throat moments, one bed, one horse
- the found family group <33
- Keera <33 the love of my mf life
- the world, plot, & characters all were a 5/5 for me and I found all of it to be executed so !!!!!! Well !!!!!!!
