A fantasy novel that portrays mental health in a normal, realistic way? Count me in! I love that it keeps you guessing the entire time, and has one of the best portrayals of fate that I've seen so far!!! If you want a badass FMC who has realistic reactions, a snarky take no shit attitude, and balls of steel, you want Reagan!! If you want your MMC to have shadow daddy vibes and the lyrics "no grave can hold my body down, I'll crawl home to her" apply, say HELLO to Oberon. I loved this book and can't wait to read the next one. Talk about a cliffhanger!!
