Decided it was time for a re-read ahead of binging through the new Peacock show.

A few summers ago I binged through the entire series, so fast, I could not remember what happened per book. Rereading at a slower pace while annotating, highlighting, and writing summaries every 50 pages was fun and will make it easier to remember in the future. 😅

We get a bit of a slow start as the girls are forced out of hiding and returned to the academy. As the girls attempt to readjust to living among their peers we slowly start to unravel the mystery of why they left while also being introduced to a few new mysteries.

This book was so much to reread and re-immerse myself in. I absolutely adore Rose and Lissa, the strong bond they share, and their fierce desire to protect each other. 💜
