Goldfinch by Raven Kennedy
Most of the book: 👎👎👎
The little Annwynn reunion with everyone:🥹🥹🥹
Raven Kennedy LOVES introducing new worldbuilding at insane junctures - I get that dragons are popular in 2024 but that literally came out of fuckin nowhere girly. The malina/dommik suicide pact was also fucking insane and not necessary. The end was good with everyone being reunited and I LOVED the wings reveal
