I read this book once already 2 years ago but somehow I only realized now on my reread that I never wrote a review. so this is just my second thoughts no first reaction..
this book is perfect for anyone looking for an Asian-inspired fantasy world with strong sapphic main characters fighting against their oppressors. also there's lots of friendship, food descriptions and a himbo helping the girls. I strongly urge you to have a look at the trigger warnings beforehand though.
spoiler warning just in case: wren is an absolute goddess, where do I get a gf like her? she makes me feel all giddy and her love isn't even directed at me. I love how her and lei are never whiny, always fighting, always fire. and I miss kenzo already :(
