 I fell in love with this book from the start.It was briliant to see what "brick by brick" looked like. All the couples, desctriptions of falling in love and getting closer, the scheme, its so well writen. Reading about these character slowly dealing with their trauma and being more themselves, its the best feeling. The moderate TW's are not super explicit and are brief, only blood and injury are current events the rest flashback or memory.

10/10. I loved this book so much. Definitely my favorite Leigh Bardugo book that I've read so far. I laughed, I cried (especially at the end), and I gasped. I love found family books, especially fantasy ones so this was definitely up my alley. Since I'm such an avid reader, I don't usually get surprised by plot points but I loved that with this book, I never knew where it was going next. Wylan, Jesper, Nina, Matthias, Kaz, and Inej will have my heart forever.
