I also wished that the two different stories had been a bit more intermingled—big chunks of one story just left me missing the other.

I wish some things were explored more,
I loved Alok and Cyrah (especially her, I adore her) so much. they felt so real to me and I just want to know more about them, but this shouldn’t be a series. I like where the stories were left.
I often skim reviews before reading a book, and I read multiple times about how (summarizing) gory and gross this book is but it honestly felt very tame. yes there’s entrails and sinew and blood but it wasn’t as much as I was led to believe. am I the weird one? there IS a lot of piss imagery but it’s about a werewolf-type of creature. they’re dogs. they are territorial. it makes sense!
anyway, I was really bewitched by this book. i’ve had it sitting on my shelf for years and just never picked it up for some reason but I’m so glad I finally read it!
additionally: I often read the acknowledgements and all the extra stuff at the end of books and I was very pleasantly surprised with the final lines in das’ acknowledgements. very indicative of their character and I do appreciate this inclusion.
content warnings in moderate tag bc i’m lazy
