I just finished this book last night and initially was thinking, "Omg, 5 stars!!!", but the more I thought on it today, I'd say it was a solid 4βοΈ read for me.
I loved this book, I cried at parts, and that's always a plus! π
Oraya was pretty insufferable for a hot minute, but of all the insufferable main characters I've had to read... I understood her the most. Her actions made sense to me, and I really felt like I was experiencing everything with her, especially at the end... oh man, that ending! It had me downright scared and in awe of the Gods.

Raihn is still absolutely to die for. The things this man says... ugh, and the way he just BEGGED and BEGGED! π₯΅
I liked that we were able to see parts of his past and really admired the way he was trying to make do with the bad cards he was dealt... I just want the man to have a break! It really hurt to see him so tired and run down. π
Going to be stressed out for the foreseeable future because of Acaeja's warning though βπΌ
