I just realized I never reviewed this, but this book was so good! I really loved that it was so seductive without having any sexual content (not that there's anything wrong with sexual content). The aesthetic of this is just *chef's kiss*. The author also used a lot of symbolism and metaphor to show the main character's true self and her growth throughout the book. I found myself really thinking deeply about some of the themes and why the author shows them this way, but that level of deep thinking isn't necessary to understand the book. I think I could gain a lot from rereading this. The author does such a good job of discussing sexuality in a fantasy world in this book, as well. I can't wait to read what she publishes in the future!
