Nothing could have prepared me for that cliffhanger omg it was so good. The signs were all there at the end and a lot of Kiva’s decisions annoyed me but I guess her character is a bit stubborn. Now I’m so excited for the next one.

Superb. I was worried it wouldn’t hold up to the first book but it absolutely does. Gripping, emotional and well woven with satisfying twists and turns, this book resists the temptation to flatten a rebellion conflict into a 2D “but what about the boy” angst fest and instead creates authentic and complex dilemmas. Great characters and characterisation, well embedded foreshadowing and far too many moments I had to pause and wriggle with glee.
