oh.my.gods! I just can't with this series!! the moment you start reading you're just instantly sucked into this story and the next thing you know you've read 300+ pages in one sitting!! even though there is many characters and a highly detailed plot, the story is not hard to follow along with. I only hope this series ends on a happy ending! 🤞

I enjoyed the plot, the story of this book. However there was so much over-the-top violence it actually detracted from the story for me. So many details were beyond gross for absolutely no reason but shock value. The villains are cruel for cruelty's sake. I don't know if I'm going to finish the trilogy. The ending of this book was pretty satisfying without needing to see what comes next.
