"I'm honestly??? So surprised??? This title is so good???
I can't remember how I stumbled on this book, but this seems to me like one of the best urban fantasy books I've ever come across. Anna's vulnerability is handled with such care, her trauma not romanticized or used as a way to fetishize her in the least. It feels so natural to follow her into this world & I'm so excited to see how she grows." — Mar 31, 2026 09:46PM

“There passes a time of happiness in your life, which I will not describe to you. It is unimportant. Perhaps you think it wrong that I dwell so much on the horrors, the pain, but pain is what shapes us, after all. We are creatures born of heat and pressure and grinding, ceaseless movement. To be still is to be… not alive. But”

“I can't be a pessimist because I am alive. To be a pessimist means that you have agreed that human life is an academic matter. So, I am forced to be an optimist. I am forced to believe that we can survive, whatever we must survive.”
