Holy shit. This was a tough read in the fact that sometimes I had to put the book down and process what had happened. The violence, brutality, and heartbreak in this book is not for the faint of heart.

This book was BRUTAL. Not just because just about everything that could go wrong did. Not just because our heroes were backed into all corners. But because the author thought it would be cute to kill every third character 😭 I feel like I’ve lost so much of my heart. But I must see this series through because it couldn’t have all been for nothing.
