This book broke me, sent me on an emotional rollercoaster and then healed me in the sweetest way. It triggered some serious self reflection on my own trauma and what I’ve been holding onto without realising it. I would highly recommend those that struggle with religious trauma or any of the topics this book holds to pace yourself and allow yourself some time to process those feelings however you see fit. Personally I cried my eyes out multiple times and sent my wife into a panic until she located some tissues. 

Also THE healthiest and realist relationship between two people I’ve ever read. Even if one of them has horns and a tail. 
The humour is top tier nerd coded and I appreciated every single pun and LOTR reference. I was most definitely snorting a laugh!

This is the most impactful book I have read in a long time, if ever. And I’m so truly grateful for it. Thank you Jaysea not only for being the creator of my favourite TT series but also for pouring your own heart and soul into this story. It’s incredible, profound and beautiful. I just wish I could read it again for the first time!
