Too many unanswered questions throughout the book while it being 800 pages. I really like the book but somethings felt like they came out of nowhere. A lot of secrets kept from the reader about the main characters.

I feel like I’m cheating on Silver Flames because I don’t know if I like this one better.

I love them equally.

Genuinely some of SJM's best writing yet. You can see how much she's grown as a writer. Great characters, great plot, great wirld building and great twists. I loved the end, got super emotional, cried in a cafe. I may have rolled my eyes at some of the romance but I think that's just me being cynical! 5 stars on the first book??? Aye. 5 stars on the first book.

I really loved the character of Danika and wanted to specifically point her out because I think it shows SJM's excellence as a writer. Despite the fact that she is not in most of the book, seeing her through Bryce's eyes had me feeling the same love for her and fierce loyalty that Bryce feels for her. At the end when Bryce gets to speak to her and make the drop with her I was SOBBING.
