Not me crying in the middle of the night after I finished this book.

This book is for the Star Wars girlies that saw Anakin and Padme and thought “eh not toxic enough” and I love it ✨

Lost for words. It’s good. It’s romantic. It’s slow to pick up but half way through it picks up and gets heavy. A few plot holes but I liked this story more than Ashoka. 

Also added a trigger warning for animal death.

I really was unnerved by the killing of a fictional ancient beast. Killing of snakes and an ancient octopus crustaceans counts as animal death right?

It’s never really explained why Vos is back being tortured by Dooku. Also it was 3v1 for Dooku at a point. Why did Anakin, Obi-wan and Ventress loose? In the end it was questioned why Dooku turned on Vos. It’s clear he only used him to get him out of the predicament. 

It’s all about use or be used. Heartbreaking end. I couldn’t put the book down and cried.
