This book was not at all what I expected. I had heard such good things about this book and I have wanted to read it for ages. Now that I have I’m still thinking about it and mulling it over. Honestly the women empowerment in this book is unexpected but I did enjoy how there were characters that banded together and protected one another. The drawback for me was there was just a lot of filler. Boring filler. And then a 277 page book that saying something. I felt myself skimming certain parts that I felt unnecessary to the story. All around I don’t feel it lived up to the hype but it was a worthwhile read. 3⭐️
