Re-read this book last night and today because I was in need of a comfort read! I remember being pleasantly surprised by this story the first time I read it and I still loved it so much! I felt very emotional as I read about all the characters I have come to love in this series being introduced and learning to trust each other. I also absolutely love the setting, the writing is fun and just lush enough and very action packed, the magic is A++, I lOVE ME SOME FOUND FAMILY, Shazad and Hala have my entire heart- ugh😭❤.
All though I don't feel anything about the main romance I'm giving it a pass bcs it's not problematic or anything either and doesn't interrupt with the main plotline.
It's such an epic story that gives me the perfect escapism and has enough tragedy to keep me invested as well😍
long story short I RECOMMEND, PLS PICK THIS UP IF YOU LIKE YA FANTASY AND FOUND FAMILY AND REBEL WARS. :)

I'd give it 3.7 stars as the middle got a bit boring for me, but overall I really enjoyed it. I really liked the last 100 pages so those gave it the plus .7 stars. Really excited to start reading the next part.
