What a ride… broke me in all the ways I knew it would. I love crying on the subway at 7am over Dara. This was beautiful - as a story, as a critique on the ways our choices shape us.

I don’t have words… that ending was so stressful like wtf. I love love love the complexity of these characters and the parallels in the stories between the past and present and characters who are trying not to become just like the powerful rulers they hate. I wish the beginning of the book had a faster pace, but wow that ending had me hooked.

Addicting. I loved the elements of The Prison Healer and The Poppy War. I loved the conflicts. I felt like the resolution was really fast and a little to whip-lashy but it didn’t change that I loved it.

Carissa, I’m so disappointed 😭 I wish I loved this book, but I was bored 😬
Their love story didn’t feel authentic to their characters, and it didn’t have the same pacing and intrigue as her previous books which is devastating

Wildly predictable but still an enjoyable read. I’m nothing if not a sucker for enemies to lovers to enemies, so I am even more excited about the second one.
