It has been a while since I sobbed after reading a book. This was such an amazing book. Liska is now one of my favorite heroines, she has so much heart and soul it'd be easy to assume this was her writing an autobiography. I just finished and I already wish I could reread it for the first time.

informative inspiring relaxing fast-paced

I've known I was ace for about 10 years now, but hearing different perspectives through this book was really enlightening. As well I love how the audiobook is done, it feels like a conversation or podcast making for an easy listen.

Easily my favorite of the year already. Roger and Wyn stole my heart, while having their own whirlwind romance. Also felt super represented with Roger being bi/demisexual, don't see that too often. Super cozy fantasy romance that made for a quick weekend read.

Absolutely obsessed. Abitha is a character you root for against the patriarchy of protestant new england. Loved the world building of the devil and demons.
