this duology is a tactfully handled story about identity, revenge & grief. it’s about reforming a world that has no place for you. it features some of the most messed up & traumatised characters who’ve become the worst versions of themselves, but you root for them because of it

authors killing off their characters in the last book is one thing. what’s pure evil is when it happens in the first or second book and you have to continue the rest of the series and watch the story move forward without them.

idk if it’s because i’ve been traumatised by too many tragic endings but i hate when fantasy books ends with absolutely no sacrifice, or it’s reversed with no consequence. it diminishes the story & takes away the stakes if all the problems are instantly resolved because it’s YA
