this was a bit insane due to the incest plot line and the plot in general tbh. a little bit repetitive and sometimes unintentionally funny, but also managed to keep things tense and atmospheric. thoroughly enjoyed for what it is !!

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✨
