5.0

This was a beautiful story about transformation, growth and love for both Mische + Asar. They're complicated and they're flawed and they're battling inner and literal outer demons while trying to navigate the passage between life and death without actually dying.  It is a duet so the ending will leave you essentially hyperventilating for the next book, but you will have to wait a while as it's not out until August '25. Still a great read and probably one I'll put on my 'Books I re-read' shelf.
