The darkness was almost too much for me, I think some content warnings need to be added to the list, but overall I have no regrets reading it.
I love the main characters, and it was so interesting to find a story where I didn’t immediately fall in love with the villain (I usually can’t help myself but in this case I enjoyed being drawn to the niceness of certain characters).
The storytelling within the plot was so rich, and the prose was gorgeous.

However, the descriptions inflate the prose to the point of immensely slowing the pacing. I would fall asleep listening to the audiobook and wake up, only to find out, that nothing much happened. Saying that, I still liked the way colours were incorporated instead of the classic black and red.
