KC does abusive relationships (mostly parent child) brilliantly, especially the aftermath. It’s brutal but it adds a whole other layer. Love Bitterblue and seeing her childhood come to the fore in her strength. Love Lovisa and definitely the sea creature. And Adventure!! The animals in this were beautiful. This world is so comfortable, even ten years later and I loved learning about the expansion of it. Excellent sequel
