The world-building in this book is insane. It's some of the best world-building I've ever seen tbh.
I focused on the lever in my brain: the little switch, that if I tipped just right, set me free.
The numb clicked on.
Endless numbness.
Cold relief.
All my emotions poofed out of existence, and the world became less vibrant. Colors held less hue.
My scattered, emotional thoughts dissapated into cool nothingness. (13)
The relationships are a touch superficial, but the complexity of the characters makes up for it. I liked that Sadie is simultaneously strong and weak. She has inner strength and determination but is still ultimately a young woman with insecurities. Sadie is a warrior who has yet to be trained. Normally it bothers me when women in RH books are so much weaker than the mythical men of their harems, but in this one, I don't mind it as a huge portion of this story feels like Sadie's coming-of-age.
I was used to not being special. (4)
The cliffhanger ending on this is no joke. Like a truly brutal cliffhanger.
