There are ways in which I recognize myself in Darius that I can't even begin to explain. I loved loved loved this first read-through and I will probably revisit this from time to time. This book is so beautifully written and the chapter titles were absolutely on point. I am excited to read the sequel with the truest statement title "Darius the Great Deserves Better".
