Still waiting for someone to put a blade through Henri for the love of god. Luther, Taran, and Eleanor carried this.

I LOVED this book. Diem’s wistful ignorance/denial of facts sometimes bugged me as a plot device to just have miscommunication - cuz she is so observant or smart otherwise - but I really loved the expansion of world building! It felt perfectly paced too. Can’t wait to read Heat!

Predictable but I love it 👨‍🦯🙈💁‍♀️

I get not wanting to let go of someone but jesus fucking christ, how many times does Henri have to be a piece of shit? 
Also Luther betraying her would definitely make the series more interesting but I'm glad he didn't.  
The incest twins was a,,,, unique touch
The ending was not a surprise at all. The moment Henri mentioned the leader of the Guardians in the first book I assumed it was Lorelai considering she was both gone AND one of few characters we had met at that point that would cause an appropriate amount of shock value. Henri needs to be murdered. Preferably by Diem. Amen.
