The Dawn Chorus by Samantha Shannon
5.0
The Dawn Chorus made me suffer A LOT and broke my heart into a thousand million pieces, but it was also able to put it back together: seeing with how much care Warden treats Paige, so delicate and respectful of her needs and fears, made me soft in a way I can’t properly explain… he is clearly the best bookish man ever created.
Additionally to all this domestic content (the cooking lesson gave me ten years of life), It was really nice to see some flashbacks of their first months together in the colony and to have, in consequence, a little insight into those meaningful moments that shaped their bond back then.
I adore how Samantha doesn’t downplay AT ALL Paige’s trauma (One embrace was never going to put me back together. Only I could do that, and I sensed that it would be a lifelong task.), and instead plant in this short story the seeds needed for a slow and coherent healing process.
My fierce queen is still standing, and for now that’s all that matters ❤
