The Boneless Mercies by April Genevieve Tucholke

5.0

we made people uneasy, for we were women with weapons. and yet the Mercies were needed. men would not do our sad, dark work

4 badass girl turned away from the death trade to seek glory! girls as warriors? I’m so into it!!! I’m so in love with all the characters, esp. Frey and Runa... Frey for her leadership and how determined she is... Runa for her kindness and fierceness...
reading this book makes me realized that nothing is simple, not quests, not heroes, not beasts, not glory... I love how this story goes, the former Boneless Mercies going through one quest to another. on their way to seek glory, they learned to make peace with their own ghosts...
