What made this not a 5 for me was the main character’s development, I thought there could be more explored with certain areas of her development. I guess I just wanted a BIG win to show herself she’s not as worthless as she thinks? But that is just my personal opinion, read it! You will have fun !
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Gore, and Blood
Minor: Self harm

There is one particular scene where the main character's teeth are made to dance in her mouth and one of them is removed. It is very reminiscent of the "imagining my teeth falling out" dream but can be quite disturbing. There is also a character in the city which has a "curse-child", which is described like a marionette or puppet that chokes and harms her.readingrainey's review against another edition

I really enjoyed Marra, the FMC who is much more comfortable embroidering than questing, but is determined to save her sister. BUT I completely fell in love with the side characters. They were dynamic and funny and worked incredibly well opposite Marra.
Bonedog and the demon chicken have my heart.
Something I liked about this book was there was always the sense that no matter how spookily dark things got, the true-to-life things were painted as worse. The world may be full of scary creatures and phenomena, but the worst monsters are the human beings hiding behind their power. And that if you’re determined to take on the worst of them, you can face the rest.
