This is definitely my favorite book of the series! It caused me to verbally emote while reading and was quite an enjoyable read. Especially with the learning of new character’s perspectives and traumas. This book is in different characters perspectives changing by chapter!

This book begins an LGBTQ relationship that as a lesbian myself, I enjoyed. It didn’t feel too forced either.

One of my favourite book series - had me laughing and crying through the whole series. Would recommend to anyone who likes fantasy mixed with a form of plutocracy (the rich rule over the poor). However, the third book I had to push myself through, was very steady.

I really loved this book, it’s better than the previous one.

⛔️ Spoilers ahead ⛔️

I loved Cameron and Evangeline POVs and enjoyed being in their heads for a change. Mare is good but she can’t pick aside just like Cal, she’s desperate and in love-hate relationship with Maven … yes she hates him but at the same time he’s all she can think about and want his attention and get jealous and want to convince herself she doesn’t care about him all the time.
 
Maven’s back story just broke me, i mean i guessed before his mother did something with his brain but I didn’t imagine it to be that bad, she  converted him into a sociopath and i just hated her more.
and can we talk about how the bath tub scene is THE BEST .. I don’t know why but my heart broke into millions and millions pieces after reading that chapter it was so great i felt every emotion … I’m not ready to read how my mavey baby gonna die 😢😭💔
