dark emotional medium-paced

4.0

add this to the weavers of alamaxa and the blood trials in the "this would've been so much better if there was a book 3" club. the story felt rushed, the deaths felt incomplete and even the ending felt a little rushed. i enjoyed the story and will probably reread in a better state of mind. i do think this is worth your time if you are looking for a dark fantasy with elements of gender exploration and what it means to have a fate but i just wish parker-chan made this a trilogy.
