The last like 20-ish percent of the book really kicked things into overdrive for me & I’m left with a lot of questions that needs answers but in a good way.
But overall this was a nice easy to follow story, can’t say that I care too much for any of the characters - I like them enough to want to know how this ends.
I really enjoyed the world building & it being a matriarchal society and actually showing it, in both the queendom, the head of the shadows, most of the shadows being women & having equal opportunity for advancement when applicable.
I personally didn’t care for the gods & how they treated their children like dirt but then claimed to love Freya….it was an ongoing contradiction that had me side eyeing them, especially Asair (he annoyed me the most).
But most importantly I really loved how easy to follow this book was, it didn’t sound elementary but it had a flow to it like you were explaining a movie to a friend - I enjoyed that. Also enjoyed listening to it on audio, I think that helped added an extra flare.
I mean overall, just know that the vibes were immaculate for this story & I’m looking forward to book 2 (hopefully Sarah gets more of a backbone 😭😭😭)
