Ever wanted to go absolutely feral but didn’t have the power to do it? Not this MC!
It is so wonderful to have a such a diverse cast of characters and a 100% new and refreshing plot. If you liked RF Kuang’s Poppy War series, I cannot stress enough how much you’ll like this one too!
Also, Zhao includes her own trigger warnings on the first page of the book, which is HUGE and greatly appreciated!
