Epic grim faerie shit mixed with the seedy underbelly of humanity. Love it.

At first I thought I wouldn’t like this as much as Tithe, but by the end I was sold! So epically dark and grimy, with a shocking beginning, torturously slow and seedy middle and fantastically action packed ending. This was so dirty yet beautiful. The humans are all messy, but I like Val. But I love Ravus ♥️♥️♥️ So good!!!
