Okay let's just get it out of the way, again, that Rebecca is my Queen and rarely ever does me wrong okay? I trust her with everything. Every. Thing.
And I've been so, so excited for this one especially because we've heard about the Gods before in this universe, Arawn the most if memory serves. I knew the one who captured his love would have to be special and she is. She really is.
The storyline was beautifully inspired by myth and tradition while also staying so unique. I had no idea how it was going to end and by the time I felt like I had it, the entire thing went into a direction I hadn't thought of. And that doesn't happen often in my experience so of course that's one of my favorite parts.
Oh boy, was that ending cheesy? Yes but it's like ordering a cheese pizza. YOU EXPECT IT TO BE PRETTY CHEESY OKAY. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM THE GOD OF DEATH HERE? Always, it made me cry and I loved every second.
Once again my Queen proves why she owns me heart and soul.
