The beginning was brilliant. The middle, solid, still some of the most unique writing I have read. The last third got weird. So, I am interested in seeing how that plays out.

The chapter started out a bit confusing, but then broke it into parts that were easier for me to follow.

The violence is horrific already.

"Our history must reckon with the fact that Indigenous people's, African Americans, and millions of other non-white citizens have not enjoyed the self-evident truths of equality, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness proclaimed at the nation's founding as inalienable rights belonging to all."

This is cute so far. I love that his wind magic is a little distinct from him, and very into her.

I can't put it down. There were a few parts where I struggled with the flimsy world-building, but man, there is a but of a mystery. And I am a sucker for a mystery.

I am getting major hunger games vibes, with Carrick (Gale vibes), the training center, and her trainer (she manipulated into coming with her).

I need background information on the structure of society stat. Why are there even vampires? Who are mundanes (cuz they are the void people)? What is up with the sigil levels, because there seems like a lot more information we could unpack there?

I am liking it though.

DAMIEN!! Um, hello sexual tension. Well, that was an entire moment.

Xander stepped toward Amma so Damien stepped in front of Xander. Did I internally squee, YES, yes I did. My goodness.

"Kitten" I LOVE Xander. He's such a personality.

"I am the most frightening thing in this forest. Do you understand?" Girl, I would have snuggled him too for safety. 10/10 decision .

This book just keeps reminding me why I buy everything she writes.

Xander stepped toward Amma, and Damien stepped in front of Xander. Was I internally squeeing, YES, loudly.

"Kitten." Xander!! He eternally will be my favorite because his personality is so loud.

"I am the most frightening thing in this forest. Do you understand that?"

I mean, I would also snuggle up against the most frightening thing in the forest, then. *shrug*

Once again. LOVE.

Did I pick this up again out of pettiness because my husband said he'd read it before me, yes. Yes I did.

That being said I FINALLY have hit the part where the book isn't quite as much of a slog to read. And is more storylike in nature.

I love the depth this book gives to the lore of Tolkein, just the beginning is always so so incredibly dense.
