It’s almost like Piper tries to undo what she did to Nox by having her back heal entirely and there be no scars. So when the madame of a notorious brothel in a far-off city offers a king's ransom to purchase Amaris, Nox ends up taking her place ― while Amaris is drawn away to the mountains, home of mysterious assassins. But it does not erase the new culture that has been created surrounding her books- which is one of mean spiritedness, immaturity, abuse, and fear. If you're looking for help with a personal book recommendation, consult our Weekly Recommendation Thread, Suggested Reading page, or ask in r/suggestmeabook. She comes across some dark fae right, and it just so happens that they’re also POC like Nox (because they all have bronze skin in that part of the country, apparently), and their fucking powers are due to NIGHT LIFE (and Nox is now a lady and a creature of the night) and they have nocturnal eyes and like…?

It's revealed the Queen is actually a witch and the reason they can tell is her lack of pointed ears(it actually says she has no ears but I digress). So many times in literature we forget the comfort of love and I think Piper CJ did that really well.This just gave the impression that the current problem was small and that her commenting on reviews was more so the issue rather than the LITERAL BULLYING she was doing. The reason I say this is not only because it's the weakest part of the book, but because it is very heavy-handed in its telling rather than showing. But when a woman is able to take her pleasure and get information out of someone I find that very empowering. She also mutilates herself so she will no longer be ‘perfect’ and gives herself the same scar that Ciri has in The Witcher. If you have looked into the night sky, you may have noticed the Moon appears to change shape each night.

It's like the author couldn’t pick which way of saying things was her favorite and decided to just keep them all. With strange new alliances, untested powers, and a bond that neither time nor distance could possibly break, the fate of the realms lies in the hands of two orphans — and the love they hold for each other.

The surface is protected by a layer, a few centimeters of dry soil that can only be breached by large micrometeoroids. One of my favorite characters of all time is Persia from “Atlas Six” by Olivie Blake and Nox gives the same vibe.

Nox literally refers to herself as a wicked whore when she finds Amaris imprisoned and says that sheshould be the one behind bars. I honestly think this book could've used a very, very hefty developmental edit and several more drafts before it should've ever been published.

I think there's a bit of discrepancy between the intended audience and writing style, as the concept is very YA/NA, whereas the writing is trying to be Literary. Instead, she would bring the sea to her, as all the salt in her body poured from the bottomless well in her eyes. Nox literally refers to herself as a wicked whore when she finds Amaris imprisoned and says that she should be the one behind bars. Amaris escapes her fate of becoming a prostitute by marring her complexion and forcing a assassin (also know as a reever in this universe) to take her to his keep to train.

I'm proud of me for writing the stories I always wanted to see, for queer representation, for representation of trauma/mental health, and for putting myself out there, even if the cost of coming out was excruciatingly high. Now while Nox is in this coma, Millicent’s solution is to have a man sexually assault her comatose body, and then Nox kills him, so….My major complaint was copyediting, and the book was rushed off to publication so I wasn't expecting it to have been completely revised/rewritten.
