What are in these books? Seriously. Re-reading this series and tabbing them this time has been so much fun and has been my own little dose of therapy. The amount of pages I tabbed talking shit on men and talking about women overcoming obstacles on their own? LFG, fr. This story is filled with feminine power, feminine rage, a king with a tiny prick complex, a commander who empowers our FMC and challenges her, and a whole world being built every chapter page by page, brick by brick, that is so wondrous, you wish you could see it in person. And the characters? *chefs kiss*, every single one. Even the ones you should hate, but you understand them in ways you don't want to understand. Overall, 10000000⭐/5 and nobody will ever change my mind.
