Need to reread this because I think a lot
of deep stuff flew over my head but I really enjoyed the whole thing. I was gobsmacked at the ending because I didn’t realize there would be a damn cliffhanger !
I honestly like the cliffhanger, I think it encourages you to think and consider the precariousness of Offreds future. Even though she WAS an idiot for risking it all on some crusty man who wouldn’t tell her shit‼️ But of course she’s desperate for intimacy so I guess it makes it understandable. Loved Moria even though her story was sad. Not sure if I’ll read the 2nd book, as I do like the open ending.
