The found family 😭 I love them forever 😭
This book had a slow start, but the world building was incredible. Despite the slow exposition, I was invested in the world and characters. Right from the start we see curses and magical bonds and sacrifices. We see remnants of violence and war. This story has such a rich history that I just want to dig into the lore.
I’m intrigued to see what happens with the main characters of this story. I can’t say much more without spoiling anything, but I have a feeling more will be resolved in the next book. If you’re expecting a neat conclusion, this isn’t it, but I promise you will be glued to the book for the last 100 pages. I read the last 80 in less than 2 hours because I was INVESTED‼️
This novel was like a road trip gone wrong. AND YET!! I cared about this book so much by the end. I’m glad I picked it up.
Plus I have the waterstones edition and it’s gorgeous. Although Skedi doesn’t look like how I imagined him on the cover. If that’s him. I wish we could see his hare form. EDIT: he’s on the back cover!!
