I literally have no words.
This is my first time reading a book from this author and my god. I'm obsessed and I want more.

One thing I will say- and it's an oversight on my part for not reading the TWs- the amount of sexual harassment, sexual assult, mentions of rape and misogyny. Holy shit. 

Other than that, I loved everything about this book. It was literally perfect. The plot, characters, world building, the tension, and creativity behind everything. I felt like everything that happened, every piece of dialogue, every character we saw mattered and served a purpose.

I'm excited to see Maeve and Zevander continue to get to know each other, for her bond with him and her creature to grow (I can't remember his name). For some reason I feel like her sister and his brother might be a thing in the future.

Can't wait to see what happens next and I'll quite literally read anything Keri's hands touch.
