...I’m not okay. What an INCREDIBLE book. I was so invested in these characters and their lives both together and apart. I want be Inej’s bestie, Nina’s breakfast date, Matthias’ training partner, Jesper’s shooting buddy, Wylan’s hype man, and Kaz’s anything honestly lol. I love that man, gloves and all. My only regret is that I didn’t read it sooner.

loved this duology (although Sources say —see Leigh’s Twitter in 2018—that she has a third book in mind‼️)

But she also ripped my heart out (IYKYK) and idk if I can forgive her for that 😭
