It is rare for a book to keep me this excited the whole way through. The writing, the world building, and the characters were amazing… I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Note: this book has a lot of violence and can be quite dark, especially for a YA novel. Be prepared for a pretty brutal world.

Ok so he wants to fuck his best friend and has decided as of the first page of this book that he can no longer hold his shit together. Drew this to an end when he let her fight a battle for him after he digs himself into such an unnecessary hole. Laia was seeming repetitive but interesting! But Elias is just a bitch.
