I heard that if you like ACOTAR then you will like The Serpent and the Wings of Night. I can confirm! I was skeptical coming into this book but this turned out to be such an amazing read. I thought I knew how it would end but I was so surprised and delighted by the twists and turns. I can’t wait to read the next one.

It’s giving Twilight meets the Hunger Games, except with one of the worst covers I have ever seen.

I love Broadbent’s writing, how she writes MMC’s that are soft with their love interests, and that feel things so deeply.
