My Reaction in a Nutshell: 
 I just wrote a longass review that somehow got fucking deleted so FUCK YOU GOODREADS. 
 The Long Version 
 Which is actually a short version because I am fucking pissed that my longass very detailed, mildy funny review is now gone. 
 Me trying to re-summarize the ten main points in my previous review: 
 1. it was just okay 
 2. there was no world-building. or if it was there it was hidden by dances. 
 3. why is no one gay? the two MCs have chemistry that goes beyond simple friendship. Safi will forever be bi and Inseut forever a lesbian cannon or not. 
 4. lots of vibes from other series (Grisha, TOG, Mistborn...especially the bloodwitch reminding me of the Inquistors, I can never not picture the bloodwitch without spikes in his eyes) 
 5. this book had weird POV changes. like why? 
 6. it was ultimately forgettable (this is where in my previous review I had this very funny attempt at me trying to summarize the book) 
 7. am i the only one who thought this or...? 
 8. i literally struggled to even remember any potential triggers 
 9. overall, not too bad. not memorable. just okay. boredline 2 or 2.5 star rating. glad this is a library book. 
 10. might try and read the sequel, but if i do it will be via my library and no promises of finishing it 
 ****TRIGGER WARNINGS: since i am a terrible person and i forget most of what happened in this book, i apologize in advance if this isn't that accurate war, mentions of alcoholism, mentions of/implied SA (i think?), bloodwitch can control a person's bosy against their will (think Avatar: The Last Airbender Katara), then the usual death and kidnapping that occurs in fantasy novels
