Holy shit. This book was almost too hard to read. I have 3 more books with these characters to go, and yet in the middle of this I was genuinely worried that they were both gonna die. The story is just that well written, the suffering so real that my brain can't even comprehend the obvious, logical conclusion that they're gonna get through this. I had to take so many breaks in between some chapters to clear my head, because some scenes were just that oppressive.
I honestly applaud this book, for how much of a challenge it was. The emotions it put me through, I swear. It's like, the tea is piping hot, but it's the wrong kind of tea and you're choking on it but also kinda hating it and loving it both at the same time.
Traitor's Moon had me by the throat, but this one... has me like that *gestures at Khenir's nethers*
