I really enjoyed it!

My favorite part was when a group of women saved Zoey from King Incel but stabbing him in the butt.

Can't wait for the next one!

I didn't like it really. Reading about animal death over and over was exhausting. The crow's personality is based on an awful person, big Jim, who sucks and isn't funny so it makes the crow way way less likeable than he could have been.
Take a shot every time he says "mofo"

There was some cute moments, or sweet ones, but the awful personality kinda took over.

Very "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline vibes, it was super fun. Had a BBG that was basically Andrew Tate and Elon Musk combined, so he made a good bad guy that was super easy to hate, lol. I'll definitely be reading the next book!

Wasn't for me. Super boring, too much world building and it was a bit weird.

"Kings and heroes drop like flies, but queens outlive them all. But maybe this is how broken people keep living. They find someone as broken, fit them into the empty spaces of their hearts and, together, grow into something different."

I loved this book. A powerful story of female rage and vengeance.
