Thank you Isabelle for providing me with an ARC! Where to even begin with this book. I think Isabelle is such an incredible writer and  perfectly paced this story. There is a lot of grief and loss that is currently happening in the storyline and you are so deeply invested in these characters that it really is hurting you like I was feeling it for them. I love how there are different depictions of how we deal with trauma and grief and each character is handling things differently and it’s honestly just so real and human. We get to see the vulnerable side to each characters. We get to see their flaws and how they can make rash and terrible decisions creating so much depth. There are so many important conversations that happened throughout the book, conversations about consent and as well as the different types of relationship that people can have whether that romantic, platonic,  or guardian-child  relationship. I loved seeing characters discover so much about themselves and accepting themselves. The found family trope is done so beautifully in this book. We have so many fellowship and sense of belonging that are created in this book and it just makes your heart so happy.  These lighthearted moments are needed because the book is very heavy and Isabelle does not care about your feelings.  Also, the action scenes are painted like a movie like you could just extract the text from the book and put it on a movie and they are gruesome and you’re just left with omg wtf just happened. I also love seeing such strong portrayal of female characters and them overcoming all the obstacles of being a woman in power and having to gain respect. All the female characters are just such bad ass and I love to see it. There is also so much diversity and representation in this book. The book does end on a cliffhanger and it might rip your heart out. Honestly my favorite fantasy series! I’ll just be here anxiously anticipating the next book.
