⭐⭐⭐⭐

This story scratched an itch in my brain I didn’t know was there. I had an inkling, based on the blurb, where the story could go, but I could not have predicted exactly where, and I love it. That epilogue really drives it home in the best way, too.

Alette was great to be in the mind of, and I loved watching her calculate the best course of action to achieve her goal. She’s playing chess and is constantly rethinking her strategy, which was awesome to read. Even when you think she may have forgotten what her end goal is, she reminds you it was always on her mind. I’d love to read more about her next journey.
