Check content warnings on this series, be kind to yourself, but if you're all clear there read this series. Pacat invented love. A queer story without a traumatic ending shouldn't be this rare, but Pacat knows exactly what they're doing and took me through the full spectrum of emotions through this series. It's challenging, it's emotional, it's heart wrenchingly beautiful while still soft despite the tense setting. I will absolutely be rereading this one.

There were some really lovely tender moments and lots of character growth. Some great plot twists too, but it still falls so short. I wanted more of the things that made this good, but those were the parts the author cut out on.

I don't know what else to say except that this book broke me and my bookmark. It broke me in a good way. My bookmark, however, won't recover. It was an amazing read.
