I won’t lie, a week ago I started rereading Red Sister mostly for the purpose of satisfying my completionist nature and eventually putting Book of the Ancestor into my “completed series I’ve read” list.

A battle in which hearts will be broken, lovers lost, thrones burned. A battle where her own demons will try to unmake her.

War is coming and even a warrior like Nona cannot hope to turn this tide.
