Reread July 2025:
Honestly, I "enjoyed" this so much more this second time! and I just can't help giving it a 5 stars. Reading my review from my first read I realize that I don't know what I was talking about hahah
It was cruel and horrible, but so good, and I could could appreciate so much more of the story this second time around~
Very excited to continue with the series!
