The first story in this collection is spectacular. The rest are honestly a bit of a letdown, but are just fine.

A slow burn about the people left behind after a tragic murder. Don't go into this book expecting a thriller - it's an unexpectedly quiet look at the impact of grief rather than the story of a murder.

A beautiful, perfect conclusion to the Daughter of the Moon Goddess duology. It's basically perfect - 10/10 I cried my eyes out and felt a lot of feelings.

Heart of the Sun Warrior was the first book I read in 2023, and it automatically made my 'best books of the year' list. Quite a feat!
