I liked this book a little bit less than the first two. I think it's because we don't get to see much of Laia and Elias together. In the second book, they were together almost the whole time, and I fell in love with their dynamic. I also felt like there was almost too much going on. It was like I didn't have enough time to revel in victories before a new problem was introduced; I felt cheated out of that moment of triumph. It makes sense from a pacing perspective, but the pacing could've been a little bit slower at certain points. YET, the insane plot twists do continue to send me, and I spent about the last two hundred pages of the book screaming.
