Insufferable characters, cheap use of darkness feels immaturely edgy, plot holes, fridging, weird toxic masculinity

I loved the first book and can’t believe how much more I love this one. Learned my lesson and have the third ready to go, and thank goodness with the way this one ends.

This story is so unbelievably emotional. Love, hope, and betrayal woven together throughout. My heart will be wrenching until I start the next book tonight, and even as I do I’m sure.

There was a lot going on in the book but the last chapter was CRAZY. You’d think Darrow would learn not to trust people after being betrayed by like literally everyone but I guess it is hard to build an army if you don’t somewhat trust people. We definitely see his naivety tho like why did you ever think the Jackal would be cool with you becoming his brother. I got lost a little in the battles with all the jargon but otherwise it was crazy. It’s a cutthroat world, he started the book being demoted and ended the book basically in the same spot as the first, but then of course everything else happened. My theory is Ugly Dan tipped them off, he randomly disappeared after Darrow went to the garden. He definitely knows.
