I'm really finding myself falling in love with this series - especially transitioning to audiobook, which really helped me keep track of the characters and the world so much better. Ophelia is another example of a female character who asserts herself through what I would say are unconventionally feminist means. What I mean by that is that she is unused to using her voice, and throughout this book she is really challenged to speak up for herself and does so in some really interesting ways. The side characters in this are delightfully weird and whimsical, which contrasts well with the danger that seems to be present at every turn. Also, BIG big fan of the slow burn of Ophelia and Thorne's love story here, my goodness.
