It’s gets pretty sad but it’s definitely worth reading to the end.

Oh Well

There was a bit more Warner, which was great. But mostely its just juliette doing something she shouldn’t be doing, and we all know it. And then just the collapsing bruding “you always lie to me” again and again. I’m tired of asylum Juliette and I’m tired of the most earth shattering sucking clif hangers at the end of the books. So yeah. That’s where we at. 
Mostly I think it was okay because the last one was great. But I hope it’ll be better now she is nolonger kidding herself.

Honestly other than the end, this book was a snooze. I'm not sure I could tell you anything that happened that was super significant. I adore Juliette but this entire book was just like a backtrack from the last one. Warner has seemed to evolve so thats cool. I'm hoping the next book is better.

Aaron and Ella.

I am not insane.

Ms. Tahereh slayed once again, I already love Nazeera especially when she calls Juliette 'girl'.  Anyways, Juliette's body count? I am amazed.
