being bound by misogyny and your identity in a patriarchal world, and the exploration of the freedom of being able to step outside of that and gain revenge on those who have hurt you. I loved how the plot revolved around discovering how the characters storylines were intertwined, and the characterisation especially winnie and binh… I’ll have to reread to fully understand everything but what an amazing book woa 

very hard hitting and emotional

the writing was just too simplistic and not descriptive enough for a fantasy book for me sorry :( 

i struggled a bit to get through the first few chapters but after that i thoroughly enjoyed it

a well written book, especially the gay love scenes, and interesting plot and magic system. on paper it’s everything i should like in a sapphic book series, but something is lacking for me personally, i can’t fully connect with priya and malini as characters and their chemistry and dynamic which made the book drag, not sure if ill read the third book in the trilogy 

thought I’d give riley sager another go lol. but again the plot was a bit of a let down 

i’ll actually be forever mad and bitter at the time i wasted reading this book bc i was enjoying it so much then bam transphobia 

a Mexican gothic horror that touched on colonialism & misogyny. however i wanted the supernatural aspect of the book to be creepier 

this could have easily been a 5 star read but something about the plot fell a bit short for me

hard to read at times but very educational
