THIS BOOK. THIS STORY.
HOT DAMN.
This book is pain, from beginning to end various degrees of pain. It's brutal. It's heartbreaking.
And I loved it.
The world building and magic system is incredible.
Our main character Sloane just is EVERYTHING. I love her so freaking much.
The friendships, the family dynamics. I enjoyed every little bit of happiness and hopefulness before everything got ripped away again, and it was just pain again.
The twists and turns, towards the end especially things got really insane.
I can't wait for the sequel, cause good god, those last chapters packed a punch.
