“Am I your beam of light in the darkness? Really?"
"I don't know. Am I your sun?"
You are.”

I mean there were a lot of turns I'm gonna give you that, but still this didn't do it for me.
I think it's getting a little bit too much out of hands in terms of vi0lence for me, the s scenes just.. no.
and I get part of the plot is developed in other books, I understand it's tiring for someone to read over and over again about the same thing knowing how it turns out but it also the book just kind of skips a lot of important details, it would've been better to at least mention more about certain themes.

I still like sasha a lot, but just how feminity is addressed in this book feels.. wrong. I totally understand how she was obligated to dress and live as a man, it was something she did to survive but somehow irked me the wrong way how she talked about being girly.. just–just use other approach or at least other words idk
