This is one of these books that I ended with just starring at the wall. I loved it - the message it stands for, the warning for the men who claim a woman and get rid of everything that might show them their flaws, show them they are not gods and everyone who isn't a cis man has to bow before them. So much power in a character that cries and is weak but finds strength in that "weakness". Andrew has done it once again. Make me furious for those that came before us and angry at those who still claim power over people who live with disabilies, queer people, women and so many more.
The gore was very well done, so well done, in fact, I have questions for Andrew... hahaha.
Also, Daphne and Silas use such beautiful language for each other. I was giggling every time they met.
All in all, I think I will remember this book for a long while.
