CL Clark does it again. It's peak!
This book had me crying so many times omg š and I think it was mainly because it was so hard to watch Touraine constantly feel torn between duty, justice, and desire. I was rooting got her throughout the entire book and her finally doing what she wants for herself made me so happy.
I really enjoyed the politics and the scheming in this book. Especially with the addition of a third POV that definitely added to the overall chaos that happened. We were also introduced to a lot of new characters, some likeable and some not, but they all added something to the plot or the world building or even just piqued my curiosity a bit. The combination of all these things had me on my toes. I was up at 2AM telling myself "just one more chapter" and struggled to put the book down.
Overall, I really recommend this book š be prepared for some heartache tho!

This was such a heartwarming, cozy book with found family and "monsters" with big hearts!
One of my favorite things about this book is the character development of the main character, Igor, who goes from this very timid person to someone who learns to not only stand up for the people he cares about, but to also stand up for himself. It was so realistic too, because we also see how even after all of this development, it's very easy to go back to one's old ways. Marshall J. Moore did such a great job with Igor and his other characters - there's just the right amount of controlling, selfishness, and disrespect from the villains of this story to make you absolutely hate them!
I absolutely loved this book, these characters, and the message in this book. At times I was annoyed, happy and crying my eyes out! Overall, I highly recommend this book.
Thank you to Marshall J. Moore, the publisher, and NetGalley for this e-arc!
