This story is beautiful and solidifies that Marie Lu's writing to this day can still make me cry.
Fun fact about me before you read this review : I had a minor in Woman and Gender Studies. One that I completed spring of 2021.
A real life firgure like Marianne Mozart is why I refuse to keep my mouth shut when it comes to my opinion. And incorporating characters in stories that have sensitive men who listen, validate and help women and women of color.
While she had many privileges and rights growing up getting her due recognition and respect was never one of them. And for that reason I will continue to be critical of men and women who I'm around to not live in delusion of the western society's patriarchal oppression.
