A review by lucycanread
The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik

Adding my thoughts as I read along because I cannot function anymore. 

As of Chapter 2

El's grief is killing me, my heart is breaking for this girl and I refuse to believe that Orion is actually dead

As of Chapter 6

WELL DAMM. That was one hook up I genuinely did not see coming. I'm starting to believe that Orion really is dead. There's no reason any one would be able to live in a maw mouth like that. Plus the spell she cast in the earlier chapters only further confirms what I've been unwilling to see. I feel like my heart is breaking because despite how much he pissed me off right at the end, I loved him and El. I'm not sure how I feel about Leisel, mainly because I'm worried she IS using El for her end goals. God idk anymore 😭
