maybe i'm just really sensitive today because it's new year's eve but this book made me cry a little. the writing style is nothing special but decklee was so complex and she and mickenlee broke my heart and there was this warm bittersweet feeling throughout it all i absolutely loved. last one of the year was a banger <3

Remember that name. Pronounce it in a special way, so that it repeats itself: Tain leads to Hu and Hu leads to Tain, and you never forget her, she loops through your mind like a cant of resistance, now and always she is chained starving and ferocious to the rock-face of your memory and she heaves you forward by the manacles of her death.
Once Hu had said, freedom granted by your rulers is just a chain with a little slack.
She said, without knowing the words until they left her mouth, "I stand for Tain Hu."

3.25 rounded up - this was rly sweet honestly and i think i did it a disservice by forcing myself to read it even though i was never in a romance mood. a few gripes but nothing too substantial. overall still a nice read.
