I LOVE this world, especially the plant architecture.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen swearing used so well and intentionally in a book - it adds so much to Ana's character in particular. Never seemed gratuitous or out of place, and thank the fucking lord Jackson Bennett uses real swearwords, and not fantasy ones that always ruin the effect (I’m looking at you Sanderson).
And lol, not the title of the book being the answer to one of the biggest red herrings of the story.
