The vibes are immaculate. But this book is pretty disappointing. Oak is exactly like Carden, and I don't really see him as his own character. There's lots of talking but next to no showing. Wren also becomes the biggest piece of shit in the last few chapters, which honestly I felt was a complete 180 on her character.
Graphic: Child abuse, Death, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Gore, Violence, Blood, Abandonment, and Injury/Injury detail
