Please read the trigger warnings for this one!! Theres a heavy main theme that overshadows this whole book and it’s definitely not for everyone. Please be cautious.
But omg I had such a good time! My only critique is, that sky truly never saves herself. Never. Even when she does, she uses the advice/the words that were given to her to protect/save herself. Plus worldbuilding could be better tbh. Still would read it again!
