I really enjoyed this book, minus two things. First,
Spoiler the vivid descriptions of people being eaten
felt super unnecessary to me. Second,
Spoiler Shiny and Oree falling for each other felt unnatural and forced. Oree's relationship with Matting was so established and believable, and then to throw her and Shiny together just because they needed a way to punish him again at the end? Left a sour taste in my mouth.
