Okay, I see why this is such a highly rated book beyond the fact that primal play and voyeurism is so popular among the women on booktok. The emotional gut punch of this twist is something Alright

Is Aidia actually dead? That would explain the lack of touch and I’m pretty sure she’s only been around Harlow alone….

You know I am honestly kind of doubting all the threads can be wrapped up these last 100 pages of the book. It seems like such a short amount of time and shit hasn’t hit the fan yet (but it’s clear it will soon)

Wait…wait 3 days??? Maybe I am miss remembering but the day they “discovered” Gaven’s body was 2 days away from leaving for the dark star festival. It says they leave tomorrow but I thought they would have had to leave today. Idk.

Nooooo

Honestly really nice seeing someone else struggle with migraines like I do. My money is still on Aidia. They are presenting all of these people but she would be the most interesting and it was emphasized by Harlow when theorizing about Bea that you never suspect women of being capable of that kind of thing

Gosh darn it. Sometimes I wish sleep wasn’t necessary. I’m not fully sold but this book is mostly a good time, even when you remove the romantasy elements it has a pretty solid world and plot. I do question how things work with these two cities being so cut off and stuff and there’s some convenient reveals of things figured out by the forts people. I can’t fully put my figure in it but something is off there

Is his mothers power basically necromancy? He keeps talking about anyone who returned….when I ask returned from what the only thing I can think is death and Asher is the divine of endings so I would assume he has power over death

Overall I am enjoying reading this book. It feels like a fresh take on romantasy and doesn’t fall into the same characters different font category which is REALLY nice. I have questions but I’ll wait to see if the are answered by the end of the book
