The take on the "fated mates" trope in this book is so so good. I've never really liked the trope and this was so different than anything I'd read before with it. This book exceeded every expectation I had. I really really loved this story, the characters, the world, the representation, the important conversations, the personal growth and character development. Really such a powerful story

"It's the ultimate act of being a good person, right? Dying for your cause. And I just want to be a good person."

There's a lot that I like about the book, but there were too many sections where the story would stop to explain queer terms to the reader. Don't get me wrong, I'm so glad there are books like this nowadays, child me very much needed this growing up. But it just doesn’t fit the style of reading I like doing now, so I had to let this one go. Still, I love the characters, and I have a very special place in my heart for this whole series, especially Wyatt and Tessa.

(i’m torn between a 4.5 and 4.75 aaa idk)

this was a really good sequel. in fact, i liked it more than the first one. 
the story is taken in interesting directions, and many things about the world starts to make more sense (and get more interesting) with a series of new revelations. 

and the characters! in the first book and the beginning of this one i was kinda like “there are too many characters i don’t actually care about most of these people” but many of them had more page time here and saw some interesting development. 
and many of them really grew on me, including wyatt, who partly went through some good character growth that further endeared him to me, and partly just wore me down with his continuous dumbassery (affectionate)

this duology is so messy. like 

purposefully. the characters are assholes at parts. in this one tho Wyatt (the mc) was called out on his bullshit a lot more which was nice honestly. this book had the potential to be a really long drawn out series with multiple conflicts with the gov of fantasy worlds, but it was fit into just two books and honestly that was kind of refreshing. sometimes reading those long series can just be tiring and kind of exhausting. It was nice to have everything wrapped up at the end of just two books and I didn't feel like any more time was needed to say what was said
