I just.. whew. This plot got thicker and more twisty in all the right ways! I need Book 3 to hurry up and come out. Took off half a star because Anoor’s character development I wish would have not been so painful at times.
Graphic: Child death, Gore, Torture, Violence, Death of parent, Murder, and Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Confinement, Miscarriage, and Misogyny
