Crier's War by Nina Varela
3.0

“If longing is madness, then none of us are sane.”

Not much to say about this one other than the fact it was very okay 🤷‍♀️

I get why this one is so beloved, it's a very traditional YA forbidden love story with sapphics and the discussions of what makes us human at the core. In that sense, I thought it was lovely.

However! I was also very, very bored and never found myself connecting with anything. This is probably personal taste more than anything else, but everything felt rather bland or like it was trying to be poetic and just sounded like an old Tumblr post. Which isn't bad! Just not for me!

Glad I finally got around to this one as it has been on my tbr for literal years, but I do not think I will be carrying on with the duology unless I get very bored.
