DANTE— marry me. please.
*clears throat*
so, anyways. i don’t have much to say. i enjoyed tellas perspective, it made me come to understand and enjoy her character a lot more. just as with caraval, i was confused throughout— well, the whole book really. to the point i’m at right now.
i had some theories. they were all wrong.
what i also had were CHILLS. because DANTE (i know i’m repeating myself but hang on). that man is absolutely heavenly, scraping-my-eyes-out, BAWLING, jaw-drop, screaming crying throwing up, dead-drop gorgeous. quote tella. well, not literally. but almost.
i was baffled. i don’t think i will recover. 10/10, recommend.

one thing that annoyed me was scarlett. i feel like she completely contradicted her character in the first book. she made me really mad at times.
i found the ending a little predictable. since the first book i suspected dante was legend. there were some aspects that i didn’t expect. i did NOT expect dante to save her and then just leave like nothing happened with them. that broke my heart.

Tells doesn’t romanticize the world as much as Scarlett, but she’s not without her boy troubles.
We finally get to meet Jacks. Having read OUABH first, I already had my opinions formed of him.
I also really enjoy seeing Scarlett and Julian’s relationship from Tella’s POV. From Scarlett’s perspective, the reader might also question whether it is all real, but from Tella’s perspective you can really see how much Julian cares for Scarlett.
This installment was much better than the first and I’m looking forward to Finale. I think I’ll actually read OUABH and TBONA again before the last one comes out.

he was just a wonderfully, well done morally ambiguous character. he's confusing in the best way possible. does he actually have a soft side? is he actually a cruel person?
