Holy sh*t

This book was everything. Screaming, crying, throwing up. Please read it

Such an impressive follow up, somehow even better than the first book. The character development and fleshing out of the backstories was immaculately done

The trauma and horrors of war, genocide, politics, colonisation, and all the other atrocities this book deals with were talked about in a really impressive way where you actually sat with the consequences and PTSD resulting from these events

Also
Fucking Nezha you bitch you really had me going Jesus why why why why why, if only I wasn’t such a sucker for an enemies to lovers I might have been spared from this pain 😭😭


Idk at which point exactly I dropped my jaw but if you see it lmk
