This book has:
- an anti-hero
- a girl who is not like other girls
- a lot of page time devoted to girl-on-girl hate
- a girl who is being manipulated by a power she doesn't fully understand
You know how I feel about those things. Usually. You know how I usually feel about those things.
Because this book? I FREAKING LOVED.
IT WAS JUST SO GOOD. I think it comes down to the simple fact that Dao wrote a character who knows what she's about. And all the women have SO MUCH AGENCY. And all the characters are just so well developed. It was a delight to read. I can't wait for the next one.
