I have a 2 year old so it usually takes me some time to finish a book, but damn, I DEVOURED this in 2 days. Dark as black with some A+ dialogue, action, and character work. A few nitpicks here and there but I'm calling the library ASAP to get the rest of @annasmithwrites.bsky.social books
@zbsteele.bsky.social You're not only my favorite author but also an encapsulation of what human tenacity and perfection looks like. Everyday I wake up and try to be a little more like you. Your words set my mind aflame 🔥🔥🔥
