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! 🤞

Epically fast paced but never feels rushed

This was a reread but considering that read was 13 years ago... I remember broad strokes and this book hit totally differently this time around.

I love this world, and this story just pulls you in from the start.

The twists are so blindsiding and you can't help but cheer for whoever's perspective you read from.

Bring on book 3!!
