booksthatburn's review against another edition

The opening pages have a bizarrely dense infodump between two enemies which seems entirely performed for the sake of giving info to the reader, not because the characters actually need to say these lines to each other.

Amber, what have you done 😭 THE ENDING!! I can’t 😭😭 when is book two coming out?
I can’t even imagine how this story is supposed to entail five books overall, Dianna and Liam already went through so much in this book, what else are they supposed to endure? I can’t, I literally can’t…
I love how Liam is such a big teddybear and open with his feelings and so on and I really liked how he and Dianna went from enemies to more. They were literally enemies in the beginning. Both are not heroes in this story. Both already committed atrocities to save those they loved. I liked how Amber was portraying them as not being “good” guys.
The story and world as such is really complex, which took me a moment to get into, but I like reading a book where not everything is explained in the beginning. Gives me that tense feeling, you know.
I need more of Dianna and Liam, like right now. 

Please don’t keep them apart for long in the second book, okay.
