this was truly incredible.
i haven’t had an actual good read in a while and this surprised me in <u>the best</u> way.

i literally love all the characters, they’re all different and unique in their own ways and ofc love all the LGBTQ rep <3

despite the magic system being super complicated, it’s explained very well, which i’m thankful for because i have a <u>very</u> hard time understanding stuff like that 😭

the last 100 pages. when i tell you i was fucking screaming and falling out of my reading chair, i’m being <u>100%</u> serious. it was literally one thing after another, i couldn’t keep up, honestly.
the ending. the last chapter. BITCH. I CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE. THE PAIN. it’s the <i>chosen one</i> trope gone wrong & on crack, dare i say.
