Book: We Who Will Die by Stacia Stark
Reviewed by Rae
Rating: 5/5
Stacia - are you fucking kidding me with this book? It's my #2 book of 2025.
There are so many things I love about this book that I don't even know how to organize my thoughts about it.
I pre-ordered it, IMMEDIATELY.
Loved:
Feminine rage
“When men turn against us, we turn to each other.”
“Women have been each other’s sword and shield since the beginning. When men turn against us, we turn to each other.”
Second chance romance
“It’s a kiss saturated with yearning. A kiss touched with bitterness. A kiss weighted by what we might have been.”
“You should never have come here. And I’m a selfish bastard because I’m so fucking glad you did.”
Political commentary
“That’s the thing about rights--you don’t realize you’ve taken them for granted until one day, you wake up, and they’re no longer a right. They’re a privilege reserved for other people.
The magic - that’s all I’ll say so no spoilers
The magical creatures - the maginari
And an ending that created more
questions than it answered. LOL.
