I received this ARC from St. Martins Press, Wednesday Books, and H.E. Edgmon from NetGalley.
First and foremost, the ending:
HOLY SHIT.
This was such a wild and enjoyable ride! The worldbuilding was so intriguing and the characters so captivatingly lush!
Having the story be told from Gem's pov just made everything so much more emotional and intense! It made everything seem so vivid in your mind as you read and visualised what was happening.
The pacing was just right with the battle scenes and "recovery" scenes were well balanced.
The way H.E. Edgmon developed each characters' personalities and relationships was so well written I could feel the jealousy, love, frustration, and hurt just as the characters did. I could understand where the characters were coming from when they expressed their grievances and motivations.
To me, overall, this story was very cinematic and such a thrill to read and I loved it!
