I want to emphasise before I write this review- I am Scottish, and my copy of this book was published by Magpie, NOT Wednesday Books. I stand in firm solidarity with the SMP boycott and will not be publishing this review on Goodreads until St Martins Press acknowledge the racist remarks by their employee.
Dare I say I liked this more than the first book? Yes it's slow and yes it's light on actual plot til the second half but man that second half. Everything i've said about Roman and Iris still stands- love Attie and i'm so glad we got more of her. Enva and Dacre were SO interesting, particularly Enva, I'd take a whole novel about her tbh. I'm weirdly devastated about Forest and wish we'd gotten more of Iris's grief about him. Shit hurt so bad.
