Epic world building. Love the elaborate plans for revenge, the small elements of friendship and hope. Team Rowan.

This book references sex, but not in a graphic way. The characters list for each other but don’t actually fulfill those desires. Minor storyline dealing with pregnancy and a miscarriage. Lots of blood and carnage, but she’s an assassin and they’re fighting a war.
