I apologize if you were expecting contrition, my lord. I don't have any to muster.
Holy catharsis, this book was stunning.
Honestly, the writing alone deserves the 5 stars, but the absolute devastation and then vengeance that Constanta suffered and then wrought just sent me spiraling.
And the parallels drawn to the story of Judith beheading Holofernes just TICKLED the right parts of my brain.
ST Gibson has a lifelong fan and I will be greedily devouring the upcoming releases.
