Review
A glamorous and tragic tale that encapsulates the human struggle with lust, greed, and maximalism. An excellent commentary on what happens when your posessions posess you, and when you attempt to take what you can’t or shouldn’t have. Amazing world building, great characters with deep personal beliefs in a combination of moral directions, and lots of juicy drama.
