The way the author really made me feel vulnerable reading this just made me want to keep going even though I found myself almost crying or nervous and stressed at some points. Eddison’s story opening up and him showing his humanity more than in “The Butterfly Garden”, made me really change how I thought of his character and I enjoyed the way him and other previous characters were intertwined with the new (and sometimes overwhelming amount) ones. Priya’s story and strength… just so empowering. The dark themes were handled with care but not watered down. I can find myself digging through this series again in the future. Onto #3 of the Collector Series for me.
