This is an amazing book. The setting felt unique and darker than I was expecting for a YA book, but I was here for the atmosphere.

I loved the characters and how they dealt with the mystery and challenges that they find themselves in.
By time I got to the end of the book I was so happy that I already had the sequel. The ending left my mouth agape and me reaching immediately for the sequel.

I really loved the book but the ending made no sense to me.

like, if Kiva knew that her mother was the rebel queen then everything that happend makes no sense at all. and if she didn't know then why was she suddenly so certain in the end. it also kind of invalidates the whole thing about kiva's dad being arrested for nothing basically.

i hope that the next book clears some of that up at least. but i did like the character dynamics and all in all the story was really good.

I got so invested in this book and its characters. I thought I had guessed the plot twist and was just riding that wave but I never expected those revelations. 
I have NEVER read a book with a plot twist that was well hidden and put together so flawlessly that I left my guard down and genuinely stopped breathing.
I just can't think of any words to describe what I'm feeling right now...
