I really loved that Styx struggled with his speech. It was so powerful to watch him have his struggles with his speech yet be such a strong and respected leader. And all the pain and hardship that Mae went through broke my heart. They are truly one of my favorite book couples I’ve read so far. So much hurt and struggle, but they found lone together in the end.
