Mia is torn between an unresolved love she didn’t choose to move on from and her love of the present. The love triangle? Oooh boy, it set my soul aflame. And the footnotes!

The narrator’s humor and the fourth-wall (page?) breaking humor with comments about the footnotes never ceased to bring me intense amounts of joy. But things aren’t always what they seem and there’s more to uncover… It was incredibly satisfying to follow Mia’s journey from being a Red Church recruit to seeking her final acts of vengeance.
