Still deciding between 4.5-5 stars, I'm still reeling from what just happened. 
 So my little Laia grew some balls slowly but surely and is becoming her own and I couldn't be more proud. 
 I don't believe this book was ever only going to be a standalone. 
 But goddamn, this book was everything and more. It did take me a little while to get into in the beginning but that didn't last very long. If I wasn't in a public place reading, I probably would've broken out into sobs because THE FEELS. 
 It was graphic and I didn't think I would get that much more after I had gone through with the Russian-based Grishaverse. 
 Review to come when I've actually gathered my thoughts.
