If you've read the first trilogy you know what you're in for. This is a book about a character starting to heal after immense abuse and trauma.

I want more! This feels like half a book to me. Too many plot threads that never got tied up.

If there's ever an award for the-book-that-made-me-shut-it-and-frantically-pace-around-the-room-the-most, this one would take the cake. I had to sit and let it marinate after every. single. chapter. 

Jean Moreau, you deserve all the sunshine in the world. I can't wait for the sequel so we can actually see Jean getting the sunshine that he deserves. And special shoutout to Barkbark Von Barkenstein!

Many beloved characters made wonderful cameos. Andrew, Wymack, Kevin, etc, but NEIL JOSTEN??? He's extra sexy in this book gosh I love seeing my feral child from others' POV. 

Nora, please make this a trilogy, even if it means a longer waiting time. Please, please, please, please, please.
