“It’s not a crime to feel joy, even when things seem hopeless.” A solid 4 star for me. I enjoyed this book - even amidst some of the confusing world building, predictable ending, and one big plot point that idk if I can get behind.
My favorite parts of this book were the depictions of war. Ross doesn’t shy away from it - war isn’t some fun thing that you go do. It is brutal. And I think paired with how fourth wing treats war, I loved this so much more.
Other than that, the letter writing was stunning. The stories they wrote to each other and the love they built was fab. I do not think they should have gotten married like girl you are 18 this is a wartime decision and it’s a bad idea BUT the prose in this was stunning.
In the next book I want:
More Marisol and Attie
Enva and Dacre - they are so fun and giving me Hades and Persephone vibes and I’m digging it need more.
A fucking map cuz where were all these places?!??
