ate. devoured. left no crumbs. the vibes? immaculate! i absolutely adored the setting of the story. an isolated castle surrounded by dangerous woods? sign me up (but not really). i loved seeing Valla’s character growth. it was absolutely delicious to read about someone who was not a stagnant character. the way the author wrote scratched an itch in my brain. my only issue was that the ending felt a bit rushed. i would not have minded seeing more suffering 😌
