This character is down bad for nearly the entirety of the book. It was hard for me to finish just because I couldn't really see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I guess neither could she lol. Will be a while before I start the rest of the trilogy again.

This book was much darker than I expected based on the summary and very beginning. I recommend checking the content warnings before reading. Overall, it was very vivid with well-developed characters and a good plot.
