This book was more of a 4.8⭐️ simply bc Cress wasn’t my favorite of the female characters but I still enjoyed getting to know her and her backstory. Her naivety and awkward social skills made me cringe even though I understood that she grew up in solitude so ofc her social cues were out of whack, but seeing them happen was still 😵‍💫 Regardless, I love that we’re getting closer to defeating Queen Levana especially since Kai is now involved in the action. Looking forward to reading the next book :)

A good edition to the series. I found Cress less relatable than Cinder and Scarlett but other than that the plot was amazing. It does take quite a while for the group to meet back up after they split which was annoying. However quite a few minor and some major questions are answered in this book and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
