4.5

4.5

A novel about wanting, wanting a better life, wanting to be oneself, wanting to be free, wanting your person. This is where this novel shines. The desires Bardugo weaves into this story make this story beautiful. 

I think shockingly my favorite character in the end was Valentina, I loved her development and growth. Her ending was the one that made me smile.
