Whilst it’s a good book I feel like it was heavily predictable with many of my predictions made during the first two chapters coming true in the end. Yet even with its predictability the story is still a fun read providing little twists and turns. Looking forward to reading the second book in the trilogy.

I did start getting frustrated with Kiva’s repetitive thoughts but it all makes sense now…damn that ending was so good! amazing plot twist, literally making me doubt everything I just read.

There is a brief scene where (CW drug abuse, sexual assualt, & accidental necrophilia)

a guard molests the body of a woman who recently died from a drug overdose, not realising yet that she has died but fully aware that she was in no position to consent even if she was still alive

This book is going to stay with me for a long time. Omg. Y’all… if you have not picked it up, what are you waiting for?! The ONLY thing that sucks about this is that I have to wait for the trilogy to be completed. But y’all… this book. Ugh Jaren, Mor, Naari, Tipp, Grendal, such great amazing characters.
The twists, the turns!!!!! One of them I knew about but the rest!? 😭😭😭 I highly recommend it but do look out for the trigger warnings!!! This was just fantastic. Definitely one of my new favorites.

First things first: I love Naari, Tipp and Mot to death and will protect them however I can. 
This is why I said I did find the characters to be loveable. 

Kiva herself wasn’t the worst main character but I think she could’ve been better. Jaren annoyed me. 

I did enjoy reading this book! Although it really does fall into some tropes it is an orginal story. A story with a very dark undertone, for which I am a sucker. I am curious to how this story proceeds and will be buying the second one, but I am however also scared for the clichés it could possibly walk into. 

Overall: good story, loved the side characters but it has to watch out not to fall into the clichés.

Takes place in a death prison, with an in-depth passage of someone living being trapped in a crematorium-- could be triggering for Holocaust associations.
