I first heard about this book long before it was a book. I saw a post about the idea of the book on Tumblr nearly a decade ago, iirc. So I have been waiting a long time and I didn't realize it was a series until the book ended on a MAJOR cliffhanger. Should that be a spoiler? Oh well.
Cannot wait until I can get the second book.
