The wait for this book was pure torture, so to have finally read it feels like a pure sigh of relief.
Outcasts is set around 20 years before the events of Starcrossed (the first book in this series), so going into this book we know some of the main events that will happen. And I expected myself to feel less emotionally attached or shocked by the events that occurred in this book but reading the writing and becoming immersed in this new environment really lulls you into a false sense of security that is shattered by the end of the book.
I loved the tension between the Four Houses as they attempted to co-exist in a city much too small for them. And I found myself falling in love with the characters and the world as we got to explore many more perspectives.
There were moments where I had to physically compose myself because I was so angry or sad that I couldn't see straight. And the ending was one of those. Seeing Daphne's character arc unfold in this story, knowing how she is in the future, is so fascinating as we learn all of her motivations and fears and strengths and we see how her face affects those around her.
Now that the wait for Outcasts has finished-the wait for Endless begins. And with that sneak peek at the end of the book I'm very much looking forward to it!
