anyway I found that a good part of this book was hanging around the 3.5-3.75 area for me, BUT about 200 pages in IT STARTED GETTING REALLY GOOD OK. the politics and scheming were fun and interesting to read about, bargaining with cardan, ykyk the good stuff.
a bunch of stuff along the lines of "I HATE LOCKEEE KILL HIM OMG", "damn cardans kinda hot", all the way to "WAOH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WHAT IS HAPPENING HQBAFZNAZBGLAHF"
and then the ending happened. screaming. crying. throwing up. WHAT THE HECK THAT WAS THE LAST THIGN I COULD AHVE EVER EXPECTED. so I had to make a new shelf just for the sake of this book, accurately named screaming internally lmao

I...I just don't even know where to start.
Like this was a freakin roller coaster...and every time I thought I knew where loyalties lied...it would take another dive.
I'll process this more and maybe add on some stuff...but holy moly. I have no idea what to expect from the final book. I've never been more excited and anxious at the same time.

I absolutely loved the character development in this book. How can you not love Jude? She is one of the best main characters I have ever met in a book and she is so fierce and smart I just love her.
Some twists made me gasp out loud and the intrigues were endless in this book. What a ride (especially the end, like what?!)!
The atmosphere and overall mood of the book was so good. I never was that invested in a fantasy world but this series is everything.

Emmm, triste triste que no me gustara tanto como recordaba que me gustó. Pero Cardan y Jude salvan todo entonces no importa tanto.
Creo que Holly Black tiene una manera de escribir que simplemente no me encanta, y, como he mencionado antes, los temas que maneja son muy superficiales al igual que las relaciones entre personajes.
Pero nadie mienta que solo venimos por Cardan y Jude, y nos dieron lo que queríamos. ¿Quería más? Definitivamente, pero fue suficiente.
Ese final sigue siendo doloroso no importa cuantas veces lo lea. Voy con fe que el tercero me guste un poco más.
