I wasn't sure about this one going into it, and I have a lot I would change but the ending really did it for me. It was definitely hard to read (check the content warnings) but the conversation around it was so validating and emotional and thoughtful.

This one's emotionally rough, though weirdly (by my personal meter), less dark than the previous book. The love triangle silliness begins to get sorted out, we get to see more of the Fae side of this world... and the ending is brutal in a way that lets us get to see the best side of certain characters as they respond to it.

Moderate: Suicidal thoughts, Child abuse, Rape, and Sexual violence
