this one was so good!! i could not put it down and i love how everyone's lives were interwoven with each other. i felt like the narrator was a bit slow at figuring things out at times but i shouldn't really blame her since she was going through psychological torture haha

this book is what "shadow of the lions" tried to be. would've liked to see a little more genuine emotion and better characterization of the MC but otherwise 10/10. on also dubious consent/consent issues at one point go unaddressed? i won't go into spoiler territory but's ✨weird✨
