Reviews with content warning for Torture - Cress

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 :)

I absolutely LOVED this book!!! So far my favourite of the series (but we’ll see if that changes with book 4).
I always worry that I won’t like the new characters as much but they are always amazing! I loved Cress and her and Thorne’s chapters were my favourite to read! (I am now a giant Thorne fan!)
I also love how all the characters storylines overlap so even if they are in different places and separated, it is still a cohesive and continuous story.
It was fun having the group separated for a bit but I must say I love when they are all back together working together.
I found this book so fun to read and I love how the stakes are rising more and more as the characters are also developing.
Can’t wait to read Winter!!!

When I started the book, I was concerned with the amount of characters and different points of view we were going to be getting. After reading, I looooved all the different points of view. Cress was such a lovely addition, and I loved reading her interactions with Thorne. They’re literally the cutest. Oh, and the description of her satellite was so cool. Dr. Erland’s ending was so sad but I’m glad he knew that Cress was his daughter. And losing Scarlet!!! The scene where she had her finger chopped off was too much✋. But loved that Kai joined the adventure in the end. I can’t wait to see how Jacin and Winter fit into it all…
