oh my god that was INCREDIBLE. so fun and mysterious. the setting and the world building was so vivid and rich and the characters were just exceptional.
knocked off .25 for the attempted enemies to lovers but they were enemies for like 20 pages before they softened towards each other 🫤 and also because she used the phrase "a muscle feathered in his jaw" about 6 times and it pissed me off. also the word decorous like a million times.
other than that this was perfection. honestly - perfection !!
