This book. THIS BOOK.

 Can you hear me almost falling to grab the third off my shelf?

I haven't  felt like this since reading the Legend trilogy Marie Lu back in high school. Or even finishing  Ember in The Ashes Series just last year. I've got through  this series quicker than both. It's taken me a month. And I am eager to see what happens. Though I think its  already  been  told shown to me in this. <spoiler >Something  to do with a dark Lila shown to her. By a dark mirror in a illegal market.  

Anyways, I'm wrecked because  of the ending. Delilah Bard is the true antihero/thief/magician of London. And the fact she's  the strong one in the kind of relationship with Kell is the best thing ever. I love seeing an average woman  do extraordinary  and dangerous  things. And I'm ready to see things take a left turn for once.
