I really enjoyed this duology! I just found the world to be absolutely fascinating to read about.

There is a LOT of action - it truly felt like there was no room for breaths from like 60% in til the end. Very high stakes coupled with twists and betrayals, kept me reading!

There is a big focus thematically on family dynamics - Wren has dealt with some Shitty Family™ and I think there's a lot of emphasis on how she overcomes her family trauma. Basically most of the adults really are just out here being the worst to everyone around them and the world in general, and I found Wren's journey getting past that really traumatic in the midst, but in the end honest and healing. In the end it becomes: your family is the one that you choose, which is always nice to read.

I love getting all the different POVs, I think they all add something to the story providing a very well rounded overall viewpoint [one audio complaint is it's just one narrator and while they do a great job of voices, sometimes it was slightly confusing to know who's pov we were in since they switch mid-chapter]

I just really recommend this duology if you like ghosts, a bit of creepy vibes and a fantastic cast of characters!
