I wish I saved the last like 2 minutes until the second one was out because holy cliff hanger.... its not as bad as the one in iron widow but it is undeniably a cliffhanger

Xiran Jay Zhao is easily an auto buy author for me and I will definitely be rereading this! it was well written and super engaging, I follow the author on tiktok and I absolutely LOVED how you can see their personality in the writing, as I was reading I could tell it was Xiran's book in the best way. This also made me want to read percy jackson because if it is anything like this I need to read it!

I read iron widow a while ago now and I definitely don’t remember enough to be happy with myself so it’s already on hold at the library!
