I ate this up. The Ruinous Love trilogy has been one of my favorite reads of the last year, and Scythe and Sparrow is BY FAR my favorite. 

PROS: 
🤡Rose is the perfect manic pixie murder queen
🩺Fionn just being the sweetest cinnamon roll 
🤡Barbara, my spirit animal 
🩺Special mention for meat hooks, glass eyes, and wooden chairs 
🤡Found family 
🩺The yearly game 
🤡Dragon men
🩺Tarot decks 

CONS: 
🤡Not enough murder 
🩺I want more Fionn and Rose 
🤡Men 
🩺Sorry. *Abusive Men 

🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝 out of five drugged out raccoons in the churro mix
