5 ⭐️
Every time I read this book I fall more in love with it, which surprises me considering this book is like home to me. SJM has a way of writing found family and a way of writing about dealing with grief and depression that never fails to draw every emotion out of me.
I still love Feysand with every fibre of my being and this passage still gets me every time:
"But I forgot to tell him," I said quietly, opening the door, "that the villain is usually the person who locks up the maiden and throws away the key.”
"Oh?”
I shrugged. "He was the one who let me out."
This book also gets me really excited for Nesta’s journey too. Another favourite SJM lady of mine.
TWs: war themes, depression, PTSD, toxic relationship
