i could probably talk about this duology for hours and hours. jordan ifueko the gift you are!!! wow. this is one of the most well written fantasy books ive ever read. the series overall with the beautifully detailed world building with a number of fantasy elements (but not too hard to follow along), an interesting plotline, and strong woc main character, lgbt representation (including an ace mc!!!), AND a compelling romance plot. what more could we ask for truly. i have a big fat crush on ai ling and min ja if anyone was wondering. 

the Only negative i have about this book was the fact that there were a few references to dayo and tar being….Together?? like obvs they werent but there were romantic/sexual jokes made about the two of them when they are quite literally cousins. it only happened once or twice and it in no way impacts the plotline but i thought id mention it bc it was a little…icky 

although they are very different, i think lovers of sabaa tahir and an ember in the ashes would enjoy this!!!

okay zuri made me a little emotional but when da seo did the dance where she painted the words Oh i cried. 
i also felt like tars time in the underworld was a little rushed and the author couldve spent a lot more time there, since that is what the entire book had been leading up to. she probably couldve made this a trilogy honestly and gone into way more detail. however!!! i am still giving 5 stars bc i love this book either way and i fell in love with her characters
