This was soooooo gooooood y'all. Heather Walter knows how to write a good villain origin story where you can't help but root for the MC to go bad. This did not disappoint at all!
Ayleth goes through so much and is betrayed by those around so much that you can't help but feel bad for her, especially when she is doing NOTHING wrong. But with all of the BS that Ayleth goes thru, she becomes a bad beach at the end of this book that I loved
