So good, that end should be illegal, but so good. I’ve never read a book with the central theme of this book: trying not to become the evil curse you were born to. And it’s done so excellently. The betrayal and the heartache of it all. They’re all so young too that everyone’s choice make sense, but still hurt. 

Fantasy, Found Family

“She knew by now words didn’t help, and that when things were broken they never really got mended. You just went on. You just went on as best as you knew how.”
