I have a soft spot for brotherly bickering, morally grey frenemies, pirate adventures, traumatised queer men and dark magic. Truly a match made in heaven.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 73%.

Time to finally stop trying for good.
Seems just as endless and dry as the desert. Does that count as immersion?

The cover only says "breathtaking, dazzling, enchanting" while keeping the story a mystery.

And that's honestly the most fitting way to describe this experience.

So much better than part 1!
Giving Lila motives and goals of her own and not having her follow Kell around like a lost puppy really does wonders it seems.

Praying for Rhy to survive this, because I love their brotherly dynamics 💔
