Melanie's review

Mar 17, 2021

it was amazing

bookshelves: fantasy, lgbtqiap, historical, buddy-reads, arc, read-in-2021, favorites, romance, adult, magic

[2022] had to bring my favorite book to see some of my favorite humans (it was a little too fitting... hehe) <3

[2021] my favorite book of the whole year :]

ARC provided by TOR - thank you so very much!

this was truly so magnificent, and will for sure make my best books of 2021 list (if not my favorite book of the year, too)! but i truly am simply just a ouyang apologist.

Content and Trigger Warnings: starvation, loss of a loved one, death, murder, mass murder, gore, war themes, brief mention of cannibalisms, hurt to an animal, death of an animal, mention of slavery, non-consensual castration in past, mention of vomiting, plague, mass illness, quarantining, off-page torture, bombs, many mentions of alcohol consumption/maybe alcoholism, off-page death of a child, depression depiction, fear of being outed, misgendering (always in a negative light), and just a lot of internalized body/gender feelings - this book can be heavy at times, so please use caution.
