I just wasn‘t that into it. I don’t know where it went wrong, because it definitely isn’t a bad book. Somehow it just didn’t work for me.

I absolutely fucking loved this book - I wasn’t sure if it was quite going to be a 5 star read for me but given how much I crieddd at the end I have to give it 5 stars 
Since this book is almost exactly 400 pages it was perfect for me to read 100 pages at a time - I originally read the first 100 back in November over thanksgiving break and then just didn’t get back to it for a bit cause of business and fantasy slump etc 
But I’m so so so glad I finally did and I desperately need the next/final book in the duology now
