Leigh Bardugo has such a gift for creating female main characters who are unabashedly hungry - to better themselves, to gain power, to love, to win. It's so deeply satisfying to read about, the magnetism of these characters sucks you in so deeply into her world. So glad I got to see her talk about this book and that I finally got around to it. Also dark romance girlies, this one is for you.
Moderate: Sexual content, Torture, Blood, Murder, Fire/Fire injury, Injury/Injury detail
