I can't believe it but I think I'm going to have to give this 5 stars. This book was so long and so dark and trauma-riddled and full of torture. I thought the relationship would never get anywhere even semi-positive. But the story was gripping. It has the villain who would burn the world for his love, 'who did this to you', all of it. I had no idea how it would end. Dangerously captivating.

I have a weapon in the house. The weapon is this book. It is huge and heavy and daunting. Over 1000 pages?! Even so, I made it to 500. While very long, the story is engaging, and it's not too hard to follow the world building. There is a twist that I did not see coming. This is dark and gorey and the author loves torturing their characters, so this won't be for everyone.
On to the next 500 🫡
