Same review, but I've re-read this as an audiobook in 2022. It has now been about a year since I first read this series and I'm still absolutely fucking obsessed with.

“So what is it? Are you afraid of your own happiness or do you honestly like being miserable all the time?”

Well, this was fucking heartbreaking. The growth of the author's writing style compared to The Foxhole Court was immense and I enjoyed this even more. Nora Sakavic leaves you wanting more after every word, sentence, paragraph and chapter. You can read this is self-published, but the plot, characters and writing overall were just more on-point.

“I am a bad person trying very hard to be a good person, but I would not be trying at all if not for the outside interventions in my life.”

You see them trying to get their shit together and I was left wanting more and more and more every time I put it away. Immediately started reading The King's Men after I finished this.

“He was their family. They were his. They were worth every cut and bruise and scream.”
