After the Fall by Giana Darling
5.0
TWs at the end of my review
Despite the author’s note AND the plethora of clues, I was still effing WORRIED this entire book. It’s a testament to Darling’s writing (or maybe a testament to the scope of my general anxiety) that I was on the edge of my seat, despite the many assurances of an HEA.
In all seriousness I loved the beautiful ride this story took me on. It moved me to tears to see Cress and King blossom in their love for one another and the way the supporting cast of characters came together at the end to grieve and rejoice in equal measure. The author does a wonderful job illustrating grief and love as two sides of the same coin. Also… I LOVE King. His reflections on waiting his whole life to love Cressida, even before he knew her name or face…
Like a lot of the other reviews I’ve seen on GR, I’m pretty much speechless.
