really hard to put down. i enjoyed the fast-paced storytelling and LOVED the main character. i wasn't a huge fan of the romance because Spoiler i think it glossed over how reid's ideology was just fundamentally bad before redeeming him, but maybe that's in the second book. also, given the sort of obvious parallels of witches being massacred and having their land stolen to US history, it feels a bit weird to see them portrayed as bloodthirsty creatures. on that note, a major theme in the book is morality and how things aren't always black and white because the witches have been victims but are also evil (like i said, i do think it's a bit weird how all of the people wronged by this society immediately turn to murder Except for lou) while the chasseurs are oppressive and misogynist but we see that they're capable of change. it's hard to pin down the morality of these characters, which i think gives the novel depth, and aside from the two things i mentioned, i think that generally worked pretty well. over all, i loved reading it.
