so i didn't hate it, that's a start. well, more than didn't hate it, this was actually really good. the writing was genuinely beautiful and incredibly haunting, and the fact that nobody else around me has read this book is incredibly disappointing. anyways, we stan all this rep. an ace character, we're comin thru with the gays, and we got pocs. also, a decent fucking guy, we love. i also luv all the girl power ("no one says that anymore") and all the love and support by girls for girls.
now, things i don't like: the 'hand of light' thing? UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. literally the only reason it was there was to push the story onwards and provide info about the people. that was it. i hated that whole plot point more than i hate a lot of things. also i want marion to become friends w/ horses again pls
anyway,,,,,,, this book was v good, and once i get over my nightmares ((genuinely scary i gotta say) i might even read it again.

Beautifully written and full of girl power.
You are mighty. You are one, and one, and one.
You are fragile. You can move mountains.
You are breakable. You will never break.
This power is mine. And now it is yours, too.
I love a good feminist fantasy novel.
This did not disappoint.
The horror aspect is there but it feels like a background to the character development of the 3 main female characters.
There's Zoey who is angry and it's good that she's angry, we'll celebrate her anger and fume along with her.
There's Val who is a victim of a controlling abusive force (or two) and always has been and we will grow and rebel and learn to love with her.
Then there's Marion who's always been the carer always carrying over peoples troubles on her shoulders, always the one to fix things and we will learn to let go with her, learn to be selfish if just for a few quiet moments in a stable with horses and a girl who needs to be loved.
The Asexual rep is excellent, the story is brilliant but it's secondary to these girls who through each chapter we fall a bit deeper in love with even when we think they're unforgivable Claire Legrand shows us how not everything is black and white.
Expect the tears to flow in those last few pages and your heart to leap with joy but always remember beware of the woods and the dark, dank deep.

3.5/5: A little over the top on the feminism scale. There were definitely things said to make it as though men have never added value in anyway. The representation of an asexual character and a gay character was great it helped to advance the plot but not be the main focus. I was not a fan of the ending it seemed rushed and not quite explained enough.
