”Sometimes strength isn’t swords and steel and fire, as we are so often made to believe. Sometimes it’s found in quiet, gentle places. The way you hold someone’s hand as they grieve. The way you listen to others. The way you show up, day after day, even when you are weary or afraid or simply uncertain.”

Well this just broke me. It was incredible. Great writing (I highlighted so many passages), fantastic world building, and remarkable character work. This didn’t feel like a YA novel at all.

Looking forward to book 2.
