Loved it! An excellent book, read at exactly the right time.

From its explicit anti-war message to the set up of intergenerational hate and prejudice between humans and trollkin, the themes of this book exactly fit into what I was thinking about. And I appreciated how high-stakes and un-sugar coated this world felt.

But then all that seriousness was tempered by an absolutely bonkers romance plot:
💛 mates
💛 breeding kink
💛 size difference
💛 major language barrier
💛 a stabby heroine
