adventurous
emotional
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
oh my poor sapphic heart - this book is a thing of beauty. it may have taken me a long time to finish, but every moment was worth it
shannon’s world building is insane, it feels as if she’s showing you a universe that exists in its own right, not one she has created. also the way she’s created so many characters, but has given each one the depth and consideration so make all of them so compelling is truly wonderful. i absolutely adore the way the threads of the story start from so many places with so many people, to be woven into the most beautiful ending.
i’ll never stop loving this book
