I have a 2 year old so it usually takes me some time to finish a book, but damn, I DEVOURED this in 2 days.
Dark as black with some A+ dialogue, action, and character work. A few nitpicks here and there but I'm calling the library ASAP to get the rest of @annasmithwrites.bsky.social books

@annasmithwrites.bsky.social Godblind is fantastic. Notes of Abercrombie as well as the short chapters featured in works like The Greatcoats.

Do you wanna see the interview that critics are calling "charismatic and sexy as hell" and "insightful, deep, and hilarious"?
