Definitely check trigger warnings for this one. This book is very heavy. But so beautifully written. It was really hard to just keep reading bad things after bad things happening to our protagonists.

Definitely disappointed reading this. I really enjoyed The Lost Apothecary, and this just disappoints. It’s very boring throughout. I didn’t care for the characters or plot. I had no buy-in.
