In comparison to Moth to a Flame this is surprisingly not as tragic and that is saying a lot. It read as the stage setting to everything about to happen. So while it still kept my interest I was reassured for it to end so I can get on with some other storylines. I’m excited to see how this plays out!
Graphic: Sexual assault

This book if HIGH Fantasy! It is difficult to grasp but halfway through the “stones” (lol) will fall in place. And apparently you unearth more in other books. But this is unlike anything I’ve read before. Do recommend reading along to audio and physical.

Great to listen as an audio book. Did get lost during some scenes but the overall themes are there. Very dark but I’m a true sense

Very fade to black. She was cute. Would be a great series. Read better as a script than a novel.
