This book had me sobbing so many times β mostly tears of joy and happiness.
I loved the true found family, and how Cassia found that she could finally put aside her fears and accept the love of those around her. She has so much past trauma, and I loved getting to see her start to heal.
Without being spoilery, I absolutely adored the homecoming (and yes, I cried over that too), and what news that brought. It was something I had hoped for, but never dreamed would actually eventuate.
The journey that Lio and Cassia went on was great β all of the new characters, and their questionable actions, held me enthralled.
One of my favourite moments in this book was when Cassia stood up for herself to Monsoon, and told him all the ways she was not only a survivor but also someone who was worthy of being a Hesperine (see last quote in graphics). And then Lio's gentleness over her trauma afterwards. I swooned!
