thanks to netgalley for providing me an e-arc of this book!
i’m really split on this one. the magic is cool, the worldbuilding could be better. the stakes are really really high, and i could lose the fact that our romantic lead has colonized the ruying’s country and is holding her captive for her magic. the author does do some work in antony, giving him a less colonizer past, which is the only thing that kept me from dnf-ing this one. i commend the author’s efforts to tell a story with complex morally gray characters, but it didn’t quite it the mark.
