Found this in a booktok recs for people who liked Arcane (aka me) and shortly after saw someone online calling Gideon and Vi very similar so decided to give it a try.
Ngl I couldn't drop it once I began reading the first page. It's been the first book I read in less than a week for the first time in ages. I laughed and yell and sobbed.
