Wow. This story was definitely slow at the beginning for me, but I didn’t notice and it was extremely enticing. I love the mythology that was incorporated into this book, and adding bits of plant information was also interesting to me! There was also a couple black references which I love in a book. The characters were also funny, I could tab anything they said. This story mixed everything aspect from this book together so well, I cannot wait for the sequel.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Blood and Injury/Injury detail

There is a trigger in this book, but if I just say the trigger it will spoil the book. Click the spoiler if you are truly concerned.

A parent does die in this book, that might be a trigger for some.

There was also a suggested relationship I thought was weird, due to age gap.
