If I thought the ending of book 2 could prepare me for the heartbreak of having to deal with the fallout in this book, I was wrong. The prose continues to be stunning even as I just scream at Malini and Priya to kiss and make up already. The "and" there being the critical piece.

If you're looking for a series that carries feminine rage throughout the entirety, I cannot recommend this one enough. It's so good and the rage is just so powerful. This series is for everyone who supports women's wrongs (and also their rights). From the first book Malini and Priya are asking each other "but what if I could make you worse and become worse for you" and I just think that's beautiful.

I can see myself reaching for this series time and time again as well as shouting at all my friends to read it.

I am so honored that Orbit and NetGalley would give me the opportunity to read this stunning conclusion before it came out. I'm so excited for my finished coy to arrive!
