lots of horrific imagery in this book. Definitely read the trigger warnings, especially if you identify as female: I consider myself pretty numb to most things in book but some of the descriptions were truly horrifying, especially because they are based on real-life events.

such an amazing book, however it is not an enemies to lovers. i don’t think the book series will have a happy ending bc IT IS A WAR-CENTRIC book! the main character may end up being unlikable for some though, since she make rash decisions but again she a girl in a war torn country. book rlly complex
