The softness and gentle nature of the "monsters" was absolutely everything!  I cannot wait to dive more into this universe and see more of the characters!

Briar and Sol's relationship was built on communication, which I adored.  I feel like we don't get to see honesty between the love interests often (which usually leads to a third act miscommunication/breakup). Briar's past trauma is at the forefront of how Dol interacts with her at every turn. 

It was a beautiful thing to see their trust grow into a deeper connection and turn falling in love.
