Content warnings: alcoholism, alcohol abuse, killing of animals, gore
Rep: twin sisters, forced marriage, enemies to lovers
Thoughts
Neutral thoughts:
I kind of had trouble with this one. Our MC, Wren, is an interesting character. As I mentioned up above about alcoholism, Wren suffers with alcoholism very much. To the point that it was VERY uncomfortable and it really was putting me off from reading. I have family members who have suffered thru this and it was all I could think about. So kudos to the author for getting the experience right. It unfortunately made me want to skim a lot of the time that Wren was getting drunk in the first quarter of the book.
I do think that Wren is really cool and she is the definition of a badass. She had a lot of respect for herself and tried to make the best decision based off what was around her. But she is VERY prickly, but I'm sure that she is someone that people will come to love and understand as they get further into the book.
Like I stated at the top, I will be putting this down for the moment, but I DO plan on coming back to this later on. I'm just not in the right head space to be in the mind of someone like Wren.
