UGLY SOBBING. I did not expect to love this book as much as I do ㅡ I swore off annotating but I picked it up again because I couldn't NOT. Begged my dad to help me get the next three books. Imagine that, a grown adult asking dad for book money because work said no more OT but these books became a therapy. I absolutely loved the writing. I loved Pestilence and his steed, keeping the name hidden to not spoil anyone that reads this because it was giggle worthy. Was FMC a little aggravating? Sure! But who cares? I had fun with the book! It's a little spicy, but definitely more to my liking and taste. Snippets, but not full blown smut scene that made me want to skim over it.nvery tactful. Now I'm a dog, sitting my the door, waiting for the rest of the books to be delivered cause it should have been here two hours ago and yet here I am, not reading them the moment I finished!

Although I occasionally found Sara's dialogue cringy, I still absolutely adored this book. Sara's strength, and Pestilence's steadfast love & longing makes this a wonderful read. It still held up just as well the second time around.

Laura Thalassa also did a wonderful job of portraying all the other types of people: those who forgive endlessly, those who fight cruelly, those who continue to care for others when they know it will kill them too. It was wonderful reading about them, and how mercy might be applied to them or from them.
