This book broke me and then broke me again. Rarely do I approach  the end of a series and cry simply because I do not want it to end. I don’t think I will ever find a series with prose so incredibly written, characters and a world so complex and intricate, and stakes so unfathomably high—yet within the grasp of a mother and daughter’s respective wills. It is both a profound tragedy and an important, necessary story about found family, systemic oppression, generational trauma, and the power of resolve.
