I can't believe I'm saying this because I almost never do but....
I think I might have to give this 5 stars. I think I've been evolved in my rating scale and while this is not ACOMAF or Fourth Wing, it is incredible and delicious in entirely different ways. The emotions this wrenched out of me... female rage was one of the tropes. But jokes on me be the rage was mine at the end of some of these chapters. This is extremely clever and well written.
Standing ovation from me. What a nice little surprise
