Loved this book. Hate it. Would definitely read again. Would not recommend. I honestly think Nora got better at writing. Love the continuation. Cant wait for TSC2.

Wow... I just finished the book and it's the aftg series feeling once again with Nora's easy to read writing style, I really enjoyed it!
It was great to get more insight in another great team (The Trojans) and more into this cult like (The Ravens) after seeing our favorite Foxes in the main series.
The first 100 pages play around the same time of "The Kings Men" (third and last book in the aftg series... If these books aren't counted to the series as well) and after that take their own story in a full go, nothing much happens, we go more with Jean's inner turmoil, but for me that's enough to make an interesting book. I cannot wait for the second part of the series, interested in how the end of this one will play out. How will Jean's first year as a non-Raven go?

Nora did, once again, real good work in creating amazing characters you just want to get to know more! The story itself, the writing and all aren't that good, but somehow she still manages to write an amazing story, I don't know how, but I love her for this!

dark emotional sad

i will literally never recover

some semi-coherent thoughts to cope™:

- insanely well-written compared to the previous books
- i highlighted half the book and cried like 3-4 times
- jean's slow but steady
realisation that something about his life was very very wrong actually
was 1) incredibly well-written and 2) impressively natural??? nora how did you pull this off do you need to talk maybe
- NEIL MF JOSTEN. i love you i would die for you
- hats off to nora the absolute legend, who traumatised a character so thoroughly and still managed to make it a compassionate read and not trauma porn 
- did i mention that i cried

tldr i loved this book and i'm not sure how i'm supposed to read anything else now 👍
