    A fun thriller with twists and turns. When one Act ended, it felt like a novella in itself. And when the final act ended, I felt like I had a delicious trilogy wrapped into one novella.

    Lots of sad-yet-funny observations of queer women in a man's world, feeling heightened but yet so relatable at the same time.

    The ending was a home run. I think I started holding a grudge in the beginning after the fae prince said, "chaos holds so many permutations" (paraphrased) because WHY the word choice of "permutations" in a fantasy?! 😂 but I think it's a refreshing and immersive read into a romantasy trilogy.

    The ways things are described reminds me of the Carnaval series. Things are described with abstract descriptors: "Black as oil, secrets, and luscious desires" "A jaw like a blade" "A sky bright like fire and tears"

    Sometimes it gets to be overkill for me when every page has this 😩
