🖤 Bookish Thoughts
Oh how I adore this book! This was a reread and I loved it even more the second time. Reia and Orpheus forever ✨🫶🏾

Our FMC Reia is a weird girlie and I mean that in the best way. She was raised as a harbinger of death by her village and treated awful because of it. As such, she has some interesting social skills but also had a fighting spirit. Honestly, it made her the perfect and unafraid bride for our Duskwalker.
“Reia had fight in her – always had, always would. She wanted freedom.”

Orpheus baby 🥰 Absolutely loved him. He was so so so lonely and just wanted companionship. He was utterly devoted to Reia, and their relationship unfolded in such a beautiful way. Also, “You are strange, my little doe” lives in my head rent free.

The world building in this book is top tier. It’s a longer read, but at no point did I feel bored or that the pacing dragged. Highly recommend the audiobook! I did immersive reading both times and loved it.
